Vidya Balan
Actress Vidya Balan feels that nowadays people in India
are feeling worried that their wives, daughters, mothers are
standing up and challenging their status quo. She also took
jibe at male actors saying that they shut their mouths on
relevant issues in the country whereas female actors are more
vocal. "I think female actors have been more vocal in a lot of
ways and male actors don't open their mouths at all, which
is why we are told why don't you stick to what you are doing.
There have been threats issued. That's only because we
(females) are threatening their status quo," said Vidya

Disha Patani
With Malang continuing to perform well at the box-office,
Disha Patani had maintained her 100% track record so far in Bollywood
at the box-office. However, every one of Disha's past hits had her in
supporting roles or extended cameos. Be it M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story
or aaghi 2 or Bharat, Disha had never been seen as a lead heroine.
That changed with Malang though, where she played the solo lead. And
now that the film has turned out to be a hit with the audience, beside
garnering generally positive reviews with the critics. The latest Bollywood
News all over is that Disha Patani has finally arrived as a lead actress,
converting that huge social-media following into footfalls in theatres.
