Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar said men were "represented badly" in the 1980s and 1990s films. "In the 80s...90s...you never saw consent. But we had molestation scenes. That affects the psyche of a nation," she stated. Zoya added films showed women that had no right to express their feelings. "How you're representing is key...people need to know they're not alone," she said.
