00:00First of all, welcome to INS.

00:04First of all, you would like to know that you have a great honor of UNFPA.

00:10How are you feeling about this situation?

00:13I am feeling very good.

00:15It is a great honor, but it is a great responsibility.

00:19And I am very excited because I always thought that

00:24I would like to use my voice, my influence in any way.

00:31I would like to bring a change that I would like to bring,

00:34which is very close to my heart.

00:35And I feel that gender equality is an issue that is very important

00:42and is very broad.

00:44There are many things, whether you talk about girl-child education,

00:48whether you talk about gender-based violence.

00:51It is a great job.

00:53And I am glad that I can join UNFPA with this journey.

00:58Did you have your reaction first?

01:02It was an absolute yes, because it has been a dream for me.

01:07I have also wanted to represent my country globally in a meaningful way.

01:12And I have also wanted to use my voice for something deeper

01:18that has more soul, more purpose.

01:20And this was just a merger of both.

01:23Do you have any gender bias and equality in your career?

01:27I think at a small level, we all face it.

01:31Maybe there are very basic things of not getting the same kind of car as your male co-actor.

01:39Or not being respected in terms of your thinking or voice.

01:46Or not being heard in terms of your opinion.

01:50Also, I feel that when a girl asks a lot of questions on the set,

01:55she says,

01:56she says,

01:57she says,

01:58how are you involved.

01:59And when a girl asks a lot of questions,

02:01she asks too many questions.

02:03So,

02:04it's the mindset that the girl and girls see a little bit of a basic level.

02:09She says,

02:10she says,

02:11she says,

02:12she says,

02:13she says,

02:14So,

02:15you have got some believe all week we got paid right to your vehicle.

02:17Then you say this is how it is going to be as a acre funder.

02:18I've already said a lot.

02:19You have seen any recent interviews with the people who are getting caught at it.

02:23It can only be paid as a tax credit.

02:24see pay parity is actually a very it's an issue that one needs to understand why you know the

02:33why is also because your fee your payment is directly proportional to the number of people

02:41you can get into the theater and uh jo film me banty hain wo zada tar male lead banty hain

02:46female lead film me jo banty hain hunka budget bhi come hota hai toh budget kam hooga wo film

02:51ek tarah se dikhegi wo utnahi paisa leke aegi theater mein so it's a circle jo bort difficult

02:57hai break karna but dhere dhere jis tarah se log or uh female centric films bana rehen meaningful

03:03roles likh rehen a film like crew led by three women doing amazingly well in the theaters uh that

03:10is a ray of hope so i hope that these things keep happening and they keep leading to a positive

03:14change i would just want to say that uh know your value to every girl and every boy actually

03:26and stand up for yourself because it's very important um make sure that you're treated no

03:31less than anyone else because if you actually dream if you are if you work on yourself and

03:38if you work really hard you can achieve whatever you want to
