Actress Tamannaah Bhatia has lately expressed her opinions on how women who are ambitious are treated by society. According to her, when women show self-assurance and are fixed on their objectives, some insecure males are made uncomfortable. In her opinion, this is not due to the woman, but because of traditional ways of thinking where a woman would be required to remain silent.
Tamannaah described that most men are accustomed to not seeing women as decision-makers or leaders. When women are ambitious, independent, and successful, insecure men are threatened. She feels this is the reason why women are usually criticized more than men for doing the same thing.
Glamour vs. Talent in Bollywood
Discussing the movie world, Tamannaah said glamour was appreciated more than talent. Actresses are remembered for their style and looks and not for their acting. She believes women should be appreciated for their performance and work, not for their looks.
Women Are Speaking Up More Now
Tamannaah mentioned that previously, women in the industry used to feel “seen but not heard.” But now, this is changing. More and more actresses are standing up and demanding equal pay, better roles, and good treatment. She urged women to stop holding back and boldly demand what they deserve.
The Double Standards in Cinema
The actress also pointed out double standards. Male actors can play bold or flawed characters and yet become superstars, while women are given stricter standard for the same roles. She confides that even she has been disproportionately criticized for her body, attire, and roles in movies.
What Needs to Change
Tamannaah feels that society needs to embrace ambitious women as equal to them. She states:
- Women should be respected for talent and personality.
- The movie world must provide women with more powerful roles.
- Compensation and appreciation should be equal for all.
- Women’s ambition must be viewed as good, not bad.
Tamannaah Bhatia’s comment is true for many women, not only in movies but in life. Her message is unmistakable: ambition has nothing to be ashamed of. Women must be admired for their ambitions, hard work, and the courage to voice their thoughts.
