Actresses now object to being objectified: Vidya Balan

New Delhi, July 17: For years, there have been item songs galore with double entendre lyrics and cameras capturing actress curves. But National Award winning actress Vidya Balan says the scenario has changed, and actresses, at least in India, are in a position to avoid being objectified on screen anymore. “Time has absolutely changed,” Vidya told IANS over the phone from Mumbai when asked about her take on the objectification of women in Bollywood. “I have seen this change for the past five to six years when I started doing films like 'Ishqiya' or 'No One Killed Jessica'. I personally believe that women are not willing to be objectified on screen anymore... they feel that they can object to being objectified. That's why there is not much of objectification on screen of women anymore,” she added. Time and again, Vidya has made unique choices for her silver screen appearances.
