That’s why I took a break from film and by then lost my place in the industry: Padmapriya

Padmapriya talks about why she took a break from filming. The actor was speaking in an interview given to Indiaglitz Malayalam Movies.
‘The perception of gender justice in the film industry is very low. I have acted in almost all languages. She has acted in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali and Hindi. I took a break from filming because I had had enough. I feel like I’m not getting equal space. It is entirely due to my gender.
I do not even get the recognition that my colleagues get.
I don’t get characters like they come. We have a support system when we get approval. We have to keep arguing every time for every convenience. I’m tired of it. So he decided to stay away from cinema for a while. At that time I also lost my position in the industry, ‘said Padmapriya.
