Javed Akhtar slams Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan due to THIS strong reason
Javed Akhtar was discussing why Bollywood filmmakers don’t provide iconic roles like Mother India to today’s actresses. He thinks it’s because they probably don’t have any idea what a strong woman is. Javed gave the example of Shah Rukh Khan‘s movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan and said that in the movie, one of the actresses says “I will sleep with a man of all nationalities before getting married”. Javed questioned why one needs to do so much hard work. He also said that filmmakers think this is the true modern representation of strong and modern women, which is certainly not.
