Where is Madhuri Dixit ?
She was on this Shoot too in Pictures,
Please tell me There's a Part 2 that includes the Queen of Bollywood
Bohhhrinnnng
🌸🌸
After Dil Dhakane Do, Shefali Shah should’ve had directors lining up outside her door. She was the glue that held everything together in that film, especially in that family arguement scene.
Trust me I loved her so much, that I was on verge of my seat in theater to just go take a train stand outside her house and fan propose her (just understand the exaggerated feeling I got by her performance)
And imagine that too, shining despite the cast being so star studded
That movie was first offered to madhuri dixit
I cried in that scene where she eats the chocolate cake...god...that was heartbreaking...and she was incredible!
I watch ddd only cause of her❤️❤️❤️
I just can’t get over how amazing, humble and honest Shefali Shah is. Can we please make her National Ambassador?
Very well said!
Shefali Shah!! What a talent!! You are perfection!! ❤️❤️
Amruta Subhash and Konkana Sen Sharma should hve been in this list ✨
And replace Prajakta And Kusha. They don't deserve to be there.
@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi don't even know who those 2 are. Neelam and Masaba shouldn't be there either. Reality show is not acting (though they were trying). Masaba should stick to dress making.
@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi totally
@@rm3015 agreed but that’s FC for you. And they are being told by Netflix India.
@@Dr.SyedSaifAbbasNaqvi but this is not specifically about actors ,right??it's women's day special
Love Masaba's confidence, Shefali's maturity, and Mrunal's Innocence.
I echo this. Minus kusha kapila this interview would have been perfect
Masaba is a person i always feel like meeting just once. She is so clear headed and matured
There should have been a second part. I wanted to hear Swastika, Shefali, Masaba and Kusha speak some more. Loved what these four women had to say. Wish this interview was longer. Anupama is my favorite interviewer.
The conversation was just getting started and you were signalled to end it! With so many panelists this deserved to be as long as other FC roundtables with fewer panelists.
Shefali is spectacular in every role I have watched her in, right from Mansoon wedding , Satya till Delhi 6. She has an amazing screen presence. Masaba was refreshing in her show too. I would have loved to see Neena Gupta, Pallavi Joshi, Sushmita alone with Shefali and Masaba on one panel as their work can draw a parallel and while I love Neelam Bollywood wives was a blah show for her come back. The rest are younger and are huge on social media and they shld have had another panel as the ideas and work would match better. It’s weird how all these women aren’t in advertisements etc as it’s tiring to see only those 2-3 actresses pretty much endorsing every brand. All these women have achieved so much and are beautiful to look at.
Swastika is love ❤️❤️ making bengalis proud all over the world now! Wish her so much of success!!
Watch your favourite star's exclusive interviews & a lot more only on #FilmCompanion
This panel could have honestly gone on for two hours and it would have been great.
Yes i totally agree
Totally!
I would have loved to see.
Tillotama shome, Seema Pahawa, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Amruta Subhash, Parvathy, Nimisha Sajayan(Great Indian Kitchen actress) along with the great Shefali Shah.
Bonus to have Neena Gupta and Konkana
Oooomg tillotama in SIR as the maid was phenomenal....
Shefali and Masaba were so upfront...loved Shefali's blunt quote "star culture is so annoying " Neelam looked annoyed lol
masaba is so well spoken and strong. i loved her here
Shefali, Kusha and Masaba - such witty answers!
Totally agree!
I was waiting for Kusha to speak. And it was worth waiting for. She's so honest and so humble. Not just funny, she's smart also. But I know she wasn't that comfortable, she was little nervous. I wish she was given a bit more time to speak.
Love Love Love Swastika Mukherjee. She is so amazing.
OTT has challenged bollywood in such a huge way, I think content creation won't never be the same ever again. Excellent line up!
OTT platforms have finally been fishing us out of the monotonous dreamland, and have finally presented us with relatable stories, sets and characters on our platter. To be honest, I've been watching mostly OTT contents ever since I got hold of it. Hats off guys.
I saw Prajakta and kusha on digital media today i am feeling happy for both of them as a fan and well-wishers
They are filling the gap in indian cinema and otts which was needed but now fulfilling. Good 👍
Masaba and shefali both talked about relatable and practical things❤
Mrunal is an amazing actress. Loved her performance in Love Sonia and Sita Ramam
I have suggestion that every film project should have.:
An internal compliant Commitee against sexual harassment in workplace following Supreme court decision in Vishakha case. Senne Hegde , the director of " Thinkalazcha Nischayam had done that and was appreciated by many.
Can I say I just invested my good 30min into something interesting! Damnn! So facinated by these women and the kind of hold they have when they speak ohh boii! No wonder why m getting inspired more by women these days! Equality is what we should celebrate!
Equality is not something we should celebrate, it should be the norm. Like waking up and going to work.
@@WellISaidIt yes I agree!
Was so excited to see Swastika here!!! Yayyy Girl!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Masaba and Shefali are so eloquent when they speak! I could listen to them for hours!
Interesting point about periods and shooting from Ms Mukherjee. Never crossed my mind at all before now. But as one who has had to deal with work and periods (in a context) in the workplace, I certainly understand how that area can affect you as a working woman.
Mrunal Thakur has been getting the cliche role of a supportive wife again and again.
Love Sonia..she was fab. Talentless Jhanvi gets Gunjan not Mrunal.. So sad
Lol. OTT ke bhi din bharne waale hein. Kaafi shows same hote jaa rahe hein.
@@MrPuspakdasgupta obviously bcoz she's the star kid
Completely agree.
Mrunal seems to making very bad choices.hope she picks her projects more diligently.
@@Navrajize If all the shows look the same to you, you are picking the wrong ones to watch. If you watch diverse content, you won’t have this problem.
If I have magic wand n want to change one thing about indian film industry is to open small film industry in each n every state of India which will give chance to middle class aspirant to show there talent.
Its already there bro. Do you live under a rock or what? Each state has film industry with good works for decades.
Swastika definitely deserves a lot more!!!
Is it only me who felt this interview was too short for the amount of tallent we have here in the panel?
Where is Konkona Sen Sharma!!! She should have been in this list...
Exactly.
Maybe she was asked and could not make it.
Woh nahi krti hai zyada interview. Naa hi boli hogi.
I don't know what was the criteria for choosing these names for this interview, especially when one starts with that kind of introduction. Except for Shefali, nobody really contributed much to the representation of women, especially Mrunal, Masaba, and Neelam. Kusha knew it and I am glad she acknowledged it.
Yessss
Neelam cringeworthy answer about reducing the hours! Sit at home girl no one really missed you. Also bollywood wives was the fakest, bimbo show ever.
@@rm3015 I gagged every time I heard Neelam speak. So fake!!
Netflix PR aur kya
@Ryan lol. As if others are not straight forward. Get over your obsession on straightforwardness
Shefali Shah Powerhouse performance 👏
Kudos to all women there , I feel Shefali had some very relevant points and spoke from a space of experience . Kusha & Prajakta - love you both , please be more confident in your achievements in future interviews 💕 Masaba seems so articulate 🙌
Still don't know what is Neelam doing here , it's platform for artists .
Exactly my thought. Neelam really? And no Shush? 😠
@@sheetaldesai520 Yes. Was very surprised to see Neelam. And convinced that she doesn't belong in this group after hearing what she had to say 😂
Thanks for this but this was nearly not enough in length. This could have and should have been at least an hour or more of fab conversations with these fab actors.
MAN I WANTED A SHEFALI SHAH SOLO INTERVIEW
Masaba's skin tone omg she is lit🧚
This could've just gone on and on and on, and I'd happily sit through it. Stellar ✨
Did Neelam bribe her way into this panel? She doesn't fit in this group. With her regressive thoughts about the LGBTQ+ community, I don't know how she got selected to be among these intelligent, empowered women. And her fake accent made me want to gag every time she opened her mouth. Rest of the women were so well spoken and so real! She seemed like a sore thumb!
Love all of them! So happy to see prajakta siting here🧡 I feel like an old friend who knows her since her old CZcams channel! What a tremendous journey girl...😍 More power to you!🌟
Me too ❤️
Neelam? Seriously? Is this interview only for those who left Bollywood after doing a hundred forgettable films in the 80s?
Looks good to see that the character as well as audience have evolved. I personally thank OTT for igniting my interest in TV.
Catch this interview girls. Good to see the roles of woman getting evolved. ✌🏻
I watched this earlier today. And I'm watching it again, because i was half asleep (it was very early), and because they're intelligent & beautiful women. They're powerful and supportive of each other, which is refreshing in a highly competitive industry.
"They didn't know what to do with women." Well Shefali ji they will never know 😜 But apart from that You are amazing. ❤ Love and respect for you🙏
Prajakta is not even worth being there.
I hope this was a longer interview.. smart intelligent sincere women speaking is what we need now
I am an actor. There was a great section of 'pet peeves' in this video and I would like to share mine - It would be amazing if casting directors would stop looking at new talent and be like 'What a great actor! Let's give them this 20 second role where they don't have anything to do'. It would be amazing if meatier roles in film/OTT space were also open to newer actors.
Absolutely loved listening to Shefali Shah here and cheers to Masaba! She is going places.
What are the odds of two of my favourite celebrities dressed so similarly in the same show! Lovely style Prajakta and Kusha! ❤️❤️
Same stylish
Celebrities? 🤣
Prajakta toh main zindagi mein pehli baar dekh rahi hoom. i dont even know who she is. I dont want to see again also.
Didn't really know much about Mrunal and I've seen Prajakta a few interviews but a nice panel. Stunning women. Anupama was an amazing host as always. 😍
Masaba gupta is my favorite among all.
The panel is just amazing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 But what's Neelam doing here?
As many people have pointed out, WHY was this interview ONLY 30 minutes? It could have been at least an hour long! But also yasss to Kusha for being an ally to the Lgbtq!
Thank you Anupama Mam & Film Companion for this refreshing interview. Shefali Mam you are a Star Actor. Hope Bollywood finally wakes up & offers you better roles.
Prajakta has come a long way.. huge fan of Shefali mam.. loads of love to all d ladies..
I just love how Anupama interviews..it's so addictive
one of the staple questions to the guest should be "what are some of the Hindi movies and TV shows you are watching and recommend"
The interview should be more long it's so nice to hear them!
I remember watching royal stag's short film "Juice" where I first saw shefali and I was so mind blown by the rage of her acting. After it I watched her in "Dil dhadakne do" where she is so real and relatable with her acting. She is a gem and should be protected at all cost😊❤.
Dude i saw in waqt and i was like wait a minute is this the same person from dil dhadakne do…my mind was blown after watching an “Actor” perform.
Just watch Satya...she is mind blowing
@@neetajadhav9780 Ok sure 😊
Enjoyed the conversation. Just as it started to get good…came the end! Great Talents show case. Neelam seemed very lost. Did she say her show was a hit?! Really? Must be so differently for her. She comes from another generation of ‘Actors’ that never knew how to act.😝
She acts as if this is an award pageant, but I liked it - she seems ridiculous lol
I saw shefali ma'am first time in Waqt, that one criminally underrated mainstream bollywood movie. And I thought who is this lady, and how does she outshine Amitabh bacchan, akshay kumar, Priyanka Chopda, and baman irani with such ease??
And she hasnt aged since then.
One interview which I did not want to end, Anupama. Such incredible women and what an interesting discussion this was!
Sooo happy to see these ladies together. Atleast somebody is interviewing the real talent.
Such a bunch of talented and beautiful women! Let’s hope some platforms do justice to them . Each one of them are a treat to watch ! Good luck to all!
Hope there can be a part 2 snd make the conversation longer! They just started digging into important topics.
Masaba is so well spoken. I am a fan now. Also, I remember how Anusha Dandekar and Malaika prejudiced one of the contestants Yukti (if I remember her correctly) from the India's Next Top Model show aired on MTV mentioning that she had a TV face but not a model face. Hello? She has a face. She can pose. How do you decide if a face is a TV face or a model face? Masaba was the one who always vocally said that she likes Yukti and hired her to model her brand after the show ended. I became a fan of hers then but today, even more.
@Ryan Yeah. Calling out on people (be it men/women) who pick women for wrong choices and make derogatory statements is impolite and not encouraged.
More power to these women (even though it could have been more inclusive). Shefaliji is brilliant, who can forget her brilliant act in Satya opposite Manoj Bajpayee. The only jarring note is Neelam, her input in this conversation is as enlightening as the songs in Hera Pheri (2000) or Munnabhai MBBS, cue to take a washroom break.
Loved this interview. I wished there will be more time, next time. Because I felt that even in Sanjay Leela Bhansali sirs interview and this one that it was not complete. I thought there will be part 2 for some amazing interviews where you can learn. Please don't wrap in middle.
Thank you FC for this🙂 but this conversation needs to be much longer 💙💙
Also, I was waiting to hear what is Anupama's magic-wand-change for the film industry 👀
Wow to prajkta for putting on SO much makeup and then talking about how director should be ok with pimple scar and all… btw she is looking nice… loved her lipstick shade!!
I guessed you missed the part about freedom to choose. It should be the individuals choice not something that is thrust upon her.
4:40 Bollywood wives was a humongous hit worldwide?
WHICH WORLD?
Lol
Neelam looks amazing but deserves to be in a panel with her generation actresses like raveena, karishma, Madhuri, Sonali, tabu and juhi
Agreed
Neelam is still stuck in the 80's unfortunately
She looks amazing but sounds dumb !
We really really want more of neelam on screen . She is such an amazing, graceful and talented woman .
Shefali and Swastika are the greatest actresses of all time.
Just for Praju dii 🙂🤗
Murnal faced a lot being a tv actor
She is so talented and hardworking
Beautiful eloquent women speak on such important issues, the things that truly matter. And it is a very proud feeling to see them there talking about it, voicing their opinions and suggestions. It's really empowering to see more and more women who stand up for their rights, for human rights.
I would had love more hours with this conversation, I truly enjoy hindi movies!
i am happy things are changing for the better..more power to all of you..
Mrunal is the attractive snob guys love to court more power to u
I'll take this moment and just appreciate the women sitting and taking interview...taking in every perceptions and yet being able to process what you yourself think is not a cup of tea !!
Shefali Shah looks like Poornima Indrajith( Malayalam actress).
masaba comes across as very intelligent
Shefali, swastika and Masaba ❤️
Glad masaba appreciated the audience
I love how humble khusha is
Swastika is so smart! Loved her take on things.
Most beautiful too
Where is Madhuri Dixit ??
She was in the Shoot Pictures but why not she here, Came to Hear From her , Hopefully part 2 Includes the Queen of Bollywood
Bcz she is part of bollywood
Indian OTT needs to level up their game by producing giant and huge budget shows..Now they’re just preferring the underwhelming stories..
Why you never had Sushmita Sen for this roundtable? :)
Coz her show is on Prime i guess
@@uskumarmate Disney plus
People need to stop saying women centric roles are written only now. They were written even in the 80s. Such good roles. 90s heroine never bat an eyelid when doing all those masala movies because they were enjoying the spotlight and avoided risks by saying no to whatever works came along. Now when their kids are grown up, they can take risks. So they come during such interviews and say that what a wonderful time it is to have such women centric movies. When they became a part of formula in 90s then they never said anything. Now ofcourse risks taking wouldn't pose a career threat so they go and bash about movie industry. Hypocrisy!!
Someone also needs to address the other side. It's much easier for females to get roles compared to males as leads... How many outsider men can you name who had big budget debuts like Anushka Sharma, Kriti Sanon, Disha Patani, Bhumi Pednekar, Vaani Kapoor?? Ayushman Khurana was a reality show winner, Rajkumar Rao & Karthik Aryan did small roles initially, Vicky Kaushal debued with small budget movie, SSR & Pulkit Samrat were famous from television already, Diljit, Dhanush, Prabhas were big names in regional industries, Siddharth Malhotra was experienced model & assistant director, Vikrant Massey got main roles after several years of television, small roles & finally OTT, John Abraham was international level model. Only names I can think of are SRK and Akshay. But then, their time was a different era.
Yes tbh, its difficult for both side of parties respectively. And I agree everyone comes from a different background and its long journey everyone needs to take. Accepting the fact that we live in a prejudiced world but the real question is, will it last longer? May be yes or May be not, names to take a few Abhishek bacchan son of a big star still struggling but his acting arch has changed with this experience. Siddharth Malhotra yes he entered but it took almost 12years for him to give his another hit after his super successful movie SOTY. So it will take time and patience is the key!!!
Very well made point.but again look how short shelf life the female leads have.akshay Kumar is still a "hero" but his leading ladies?Now he cast opposite manushi chillar.doesn't that tell why young women get breaks comparatively easily than males?
Also maybe look at the roles of the women in most of the 'big budget' films....
@@Timepass-cx1do What's wrong in it??
@@sushantgambhir8985 What do you mean "what's wrong with it"? Women that get breaks as newcomers are used as showpieces in these big budget movies. They don't have any substantial roles. So don't say it's "easier" for them to make in into the industry. Both men and women face hardships but once a man is established, he has a long shelf-life as a hero. Women...not so much.
Ahh Shefali Shah!! What a talent ...man
Dear Anupama, please get more of such intellectual only women discussions and we ourselves will be driving and changing the world as we are putting our thoughts in the universe - they will manifest - thanks for the cute short discussion
This is the best of FC. Please make more real interviews
Happy Women's Day 💓 More power to you all
Such a great interview
What a lovely panel of women!
I see you everywhere😂 Mostly under ok tested videos comment section.
@@miranda3 Oh hello! Thank you for seeing me everywhere 😂
