Sonam Kapoor talks about Fatma Begum

In the recent past, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja took to Instagram to talk about one of the legendaries of Indian cinema, Fatma Begum. Fatma Begum was the first female director and studio owner in Indian cinema. In an array of pictures, she curated some information about Fatma Begum and how she fought to get recognised in a male-dominated society.

The Khoobsurat actor also went on to share her personal experience of facing struggles to get recognised amongst the male of the industry. The actor’s note read, “For those of you who don’t know, at the beginning of my career, I AD’d with a director for almost 5 years. In a space that was largely dominated by men, I got a glimpse of what it means to be a woman in an otherwise man’s world. It is not easy.”

Talking about Neerja, she said that when she read about her she found out Neerja was a powerful woman. She then talked about Fatma Begum and how she became her inspiration. She wrote, “Looking at these women and reading about them, I cannot help but look up to them. Another inspiration of mine has to be Fatma Begum! She was a leader in so many ways. Largely responsible for pulling the film industry out of its patriarchal ways, she was also unafraid to try new things and experiment.”

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja then talked about her personal experiences. Talking about her production, AK films, she said that she and her sister Rhea Kapoor had never shied away from speaking about the issues they face being women. She also mentioned that while making the movie Veere Di Wedding, they faced several issues but the fact is those issues are just the tip of the iceberg, she said.

She ended her note saying, “No amount of words can describe the respect I have for you, thank you for being a feminist, thank you for not being afraid, thank you for taking risks, and thank you for establishing a platform for actors like myself to even exist today. Guys, if you don’t know about her, I urge you to look her up, read about her, be inspired. We NEED more women like her! 💖”
