Priyanka Chopra opens up about Gender Inequality in films

Ok let’s face it, actress Priyanka Chopra is totally slaying it in both, the Hindi film industry and the American entertainment scenes. Not only is she multitasking between Bollywood and Hollywood, she’s also traveling the world as UNICEF’s goodwill ambassador. But that doesn’t mean she didn’t have to face her share of hurdles. Talking to a leading magazine about gender inequality in films, the actress stated that she wants to make things easier for the next generation of female actors in Hollywood.

“Well, first of all, just to take a step back, women had had to choose what they want to make because parts are not written in Hollywood or entertainment,” said the actress

She further continued, “We’re so far behind, I mean we just had ‘Wonder Woman’, which is our first big major female superhero movie directed by a female. We’ve just had one director that’s ever won an Academy Award who is a female ever in the history of entertainment. I mean, come on!”

“…I’m digging my feet in and not gonna settle ever,” she said. “Because it’s gonna take people like me, like a lot of other women out there, to make it easier for the next generation,” she concluded.
