Interestingly, during her conversation, she said that women are good at taking responsibility, but the way people react to women in positions of authority is a challenge.

As the conversation moved ahead, the 33-year-old producer acknowledged the privilege of being actor Anil Kapoor’s daughter. She said that she was aware that it was the only reason she could become a producer at the age of 21. Explaining the same in detail, she said that the people often assume her to be stupid or bimbo but she was fine and said that a lot of women deal with this kind of bias. Adding more, Rhea said that the successful producers like Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar were all beginners at one point.
