Bidita Bag, who played the character of Indian stunt woman Reshma Pathan in the film The Sholay Girl, had a long interaction with Pathan during the filming. Asked about the changes she noticed from the 70s era to present time, Bidita told IANS: "Undoubtedly, there is an awareness and consciousness in men's behaviour but that is not enough."

"While the constant conversation on gender equality has given voice to many women, aspire many to follow their dreams and know their rights, we need to practice it to continue to bring the change, only 'talk' and 'information on our rights' don't help. It is just the first step," she explained. The film, based on the life of Pathan, released on the OTT platform ZEE5 on Friday.
