Zoya owned the interview by breaking myths about Feminism / Nepotism / Film Making The interviewer couldn’t even compete in vocabulary

I love the way Zoya thinks, why these anchors always victomizing women gender 🙄 😑 😒

[@Saptak41]

Zoya needs to have her ear on ground with respect to gender issues. It may not be her experience but the issues are there. Self confident and non judgemental women still face it but we do get on with things. Doesn’t mean we gloss over because it’s about making the world a better place for everyone.
