Five years in, OWomaniya! continues to ignite conversations around gender equity in Indian entertainment. Hosted by Anupama Chopra, this powerful roundtable brings together Bhumi Pednekkar, Siddharth Roy Kapur, Guneet Monga Kapoor, Rahul Ravindran, Shazia Iqbal, Suresh Triveni and Stuti Ramachandra to unpack some of the most pressing questions facing the industry today.
From the gap between women-led stories in theatrical releases versus streaming platforms, to why meaningful roles for women remain scarce, the panel digs into the disconnect between intent and action and what it will take to turn good intentions into non-negotiable mandates.
This conversation reflects on the challenges of representation while holding space for the possibility of a more equitable future for women on screen and behind the scenes.
