MUMBAI: Actress Sunayana Fozdar, who is currently seen in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah as Anjali, never shies to speak her heart out. The talented actress spoke about the taboo which the female actresses have to go through in the industry till date.

Talking about the change that the entertainment industry should see, she said, "There is a huge shift in terms of filmmaking and nowadays we do have women as the protagonists in web shows who are empowering other women, but having said that we still have that taboo of the age factor being associated with women only. The older a woman gets, the chances of her getting protagonist roles also goes down. For this I think we should take a clue from the Hollywood movies."

In Bollywood men are still romancing young girls on screen. But women, as they grow older they are only seen playing a mother or grandmother on-screen. This is a change we need to strive for. But we can't deny that there are women oriented films also being made and there's a positive shift in the industry happening," said the Santaan actress.
