Young actress Dimple Hayathi has joined the growing conversation on the representation of women in mainstream cinema following the controversy surrounding the portrayal of Janhvi Kapoor’s character in Peddi.
Without directly naming the film, Dimple pointed out that actresses are often unfairly judged for the roles they play, despite having little influence over how those characters are written and presented on screen. Taking to social media, she welcomed the ongoing debate, describing it as a discussion that is “long overdue” in the film industry.
According to the actress, many women entering the industry accept the opportunities available to them while striving to establish their careers. As a result, she argued, they should not be blamed when their characters lack substance or are reduced to mere glamour elements.
Dimple emphasized that the depth and quality of a female character are primarily shaped by the writers and filmmakers behind a project. She noted that while actresses often bear the brunt of criticism over the portrayal of their roles, the creative choices responsible for those portrayals frequently escape public scrutiny.
She further observed that female performers are seldom given enough opportunities to showcase their full acting abilities. In contrast, hero-centric films tend to offer male actors greater scope, complexity, and freedom in characterization.
Her remarks add to the ongoing industry-wide discussion about the need for stronger, better-written female characters and a more balanced approach to storytelling in commercial cinema.
