Lara Dutta understands that playing a 40-year-old woman in Bollywood is a rare opportunity for female actresses. In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Lara was asked about how men frequently play characters decades younger than their true age, but she stated that she has no desire in doing so. “I think it's great (women getting to play their own age). Yeah. And I hope it happens more. Why? Because for the longest time ever, we never ever, ever represented women in this country over a certain age. It was always the college-going or the 20-year-old falling in love for the first time. Any representation of women on screen was either the mother who has sacrificed everything, or the horrible saas or the suffering bahu, there was just no representation of actual women,” Lara said. In her new television series, Ranneeti: Balakot and Beyond, she plays a politician.

I saw the trailer and it just didn’t work for me. There is so much amazing content available from across the globe. I will sti
