Actress Mahima Chaudhary has a very impressive filmography with several critically acclaimed and popular projects in the late 90s and 2000s. However, according to the actress, the roots of the industry were deep in sexism at that time. In a recent interview, Mahima opened up about how conditions were particularly bad for women, and actresses were expected to be ‘virgins’. Mahima also said that now more women are calling and they have a ‘better shelf life’.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Mahima said, “The moment you started dating someone, people would turn you down because they only wanted a virgin who didn’t kiss. If you were dating someone, then It was like, ‘Oh! She’s dating!’ If you were married, forget it, your career was over, and if you had kids, it was absolutely over.”

However, the actress said that now is a better time for actresses. “I think the industry is reaching a position where female actors are also calling the shots. They get better parts, better pay, advertisements, they are in a great and very powerful position. They have a longer shelf than before. Life is.”
