She added, "Physical combat is seen as something that only men are supposed to do in films. Running on trains and fighting the enemy or even working the whip — these are seen as things the 'hero' does to win. Many say that she was better at stunts than most male actors of the time!" Ahuja tagged the yesteryear actor as a "true legend" and discussed her achievements. "She came to India [from Australia], learnt the language, the craft and made a name for herself.
