Sukanya Verma glances at the changing faces of women bonding in Hindi movies.
'...changed my image, changed everything.' 'Now I make calls with great confidence.' 'Day before yesterday, I sent a message to a director that I heard you are making a film, is there any role for me?' 'I have confidence now. Earlier, I could never do.'
There are 12 actresses, who are among Bollywood's busiest, working on multiple films simultaneously. Just who are they?
'I don't believe in the length of the role. But I definitely don't want to be decoration.'

'In this chicks-rule-the-roost universe, the men are non-existent, untrustworthy or plain incompetent and it's the women who are providing for each other's fantasies.' Sreehari Nair applauds Ocean's 8.
'A journalist met me after Mastizaade failed and said, "'Whatever you do in life, you will never get rid of the Sex Comedy King of India tag".' 'She didn't mean to hurt me, but it broke me.'
