The ongoing ‘Peddi’ controversy in the film world these days has created a stir from social media to the corridors of Bollywood. Amidst all this controversy, such a sensational statement of a very popular and outspoken actress of the 90s has come to light, which has again brought a bitter truth of the old era cinema into discussion. Referring to the films of her era, the actress said without any hesitation that filming ‘Rape Scenes’ in the cinema of that time was a very common thing and it was considered an essential part of the story. But at the same time, while praising today’s changing times and strict laws, he said that in today’s time, if anyone dares to do so, he will have to go straight to jail.
The bitter truth of old cinema that made heroines tremble
In her interview, this veteran actress recalled the era of the 80s and 90s when scenes like rape and violence against women were forcibly included in films to show the terror of the villain on screen. He told that at that time the directors and producers believed that watching such scenes would increase the audience’s hatred towards the villain and sympathy towards the hero, due to which the film would become a hit at the box office. But in this process, no one was ready to talk about how much mental stress and discomfort the actresses had to go through on the set.
How ‘Peddi’ controversy revealed old layers of the film industry
The current ‘Peddi’ controversy has sparked a new debate within the film industry on the safety of women, their rights and the methods of filming intimate scenes. Giving a right direction to this controversy, this heroine of the 90s said that in old times, words like ‘intimacy coordinator’ were not even heard. Actresses were often told what to do at the last moment of the scene, and sometimes they did not even have the option to refuse. He said that whatever was served on the screen during that period cannot be acceptable at any cost in today’s modern and conscious society.
Today’s cinematic changes and strict legal protections are highly praised.
The actress expressed her deep happiness and satisfaction that today’s cinema has changed a lot and strict rules are in place regarding the safety of women on film sets. She said that in today’s era, not only do actresses have complete freedom to express their views and refuse to do any uncomfortable scene, but the laws have also become so strict that no one can dare to cross their limits. If today any director or co-star tries to force or misbehave with a female artist, then by law his career will not only end but he will also go straight to jail.
