00:03Actress Isha Kopikar recently took to her official handle and spoke out against what
00:09she sees as a deep-rooted bias in the film industry regarding age and on-screen romance.
00:15Sharing a video on her Instagram, Isha Kopikar highlighted how older male actors frequently
00:22portray romantic leads opposite much younger women, a pattern she says is widely accepted
00:28and normalized, while women are often judged for aging or expressing individuality on screen.
00:35This is a very strange thing. A woman's age is a problem of experience and a woman's age is a
00:42problem.
00:43In the movies, we see heroes who make their age with older girls and become a hero.
00:50They are very normal. But if a woman is stylish and expressive,
00:55they celebrate their individuality. So, she says,
01:01Now, in this age, please behave your age.
01:04Please respect this woman to every age.
01:07Look at her age. Look at her journey. Look at her skin. Look at her strength.
01:13Understand it. Because there is no expiry date of dignity.
01:23In the caption she wrote,
01:26The world has spent too long defining beauty by age. Maybe real beauty was never about age in the first
01:33place.
01:33Work-wise, Isha has worked across Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi and Tamil cinema.
01:39She began her acting journey with the Tamil film Kadhal Kavitai. She is known for her stings in Hindi movies
01:46such as Krishna Cottage, Pyaar, Ishq, and Mohabbat, Kya Cool Hai Hum, and Salame Ishq, a tribute to love.
