People still have a hard time accepting that women can be ambitious and willing to work extremely hard to achieve financial independence, according to actress Nidhhi Agerwal. And it’s something she hopes will change soon.
“There are many stereotypes that people in general, but particularly women, continue to struggle with. “The stereotype that women aren’t as ambitious as men is something I’ve seen a lot of recently,” Agerwal says.
“There are other basic stereotypes as well,” the 28-year-old continues, “but the biggest is that women are not very ambitious.” Somewhere in the back of people’s minds, there’s this idea that women aren’t ambitious.”
“Women are extremely ambitious,” she wants to clarify. They should be allowed to enrich themselves, and they should be praised when they pursue their dreams or work to become financially independent and make a name for themselves.”
She debuted in the film industry in 2017 with the Hindi film Munna Michael, before moving on to the Tamil and Telugu film industries. However, she has yet to work with a female director, which she hopes to change soon.
“I’ve never worked with a female director, and I think it would be fantastic to do so.” “I’m really looking forward to it,” she says.
That’s because extra comfort and understanding come with it. “Now, as I see it, I’m working on sets with a lot of female technicians and ADs, so there’s an extra level of comfort.” When you’re talking to another girl, you can simply express your concerns or tell her things that only another girl would know. Working with a female director would be liberating,” she concludes.
