Actor Vidya Balan says she disagrees with modern feminism which restricts women to a stereotypical image and criticises them if they wish to enjoy "traditional things". Balan, who was the chief guest at the launch event of film critic Maithili Rao's book "The Millennial Woman in Bollywood" on Friday night, questioned the lack of agency for modern women.
"Why can't a strong woman, a feminist, have a partner, also wish to enjoy traditional things and also wish to take a step back? Why is the modern woman being used as a typical example for what every woman must be? Why is the modern woman being stereotyped? Why empowerment and wanting to live as you please needs to be so exclusive," the actor said.
