There will just be stories and characters and all humans would matter equally. Someday we will not be writing a year-end listicle on women characters from Hindi films. But today is not that day.

Women in Bollywood have mostly been seen through the male gaze, not only because these movies are written by men, but because women in India have traditionally been viewed in relation to the men she is a mother, wife, partner, daughter to be deified or devoured, but never just a woman deserving of her own story.
