“Back in the day, men started writing the stories they wanted to see. Devika Rani did the first kissing scene. Mother India inspired many. Every movie has a sister raped so that the brother avenges it. Khoon Bhari Mang is close to my heart. Back then a woman who smoked drank and went to parties was a vamp In the 90s the heroines didn’t have much to do but my favorite is Mohra. Raveena ma’am did a great job on it. Sridevi did a great job in Sadma and Chaalbaaz. When I got Dum Laga Ke Haisha people told me to have you looked at yourself? I was lucky to do roles where the woman was important. I rejected 24 films before I signed Toilet.”
