Ratna: Waheeda doesn’t get roles she deserves

Ratna Pathak Shah

, Dia Mirza,

Fatima Sana Shaikh

and

Sanjana Sanghi

will be seen in the upcoming film 'Dhak Dhak'. Recently, Ratna Pathak said she used to once believe that actresses have a shelf life.
The actress said that it is Hollywood celebs such as Meryl Streep, or Helen Mirren that make her believe that if they can do it, so can she. Meanwhile, Ratna also said that she feels veteran actress Waheeda Rehman doesn’t get the kind of roles she deserves.

In an interview with Film Companion, Ratna Pathak Shah said that one of the problems that she finds women are more susceptible to, is a question of the way they look. She has had a long journey with that. All women have had to come to terms with the way they look, and the fact that their body is what it is. And if they don't want to fiddle with it too much, they need to learn to accept what they are, she said. And the most revealing thing to her, and stupid as it seems considering her mother was who she was, was the fact that she somehow thought that acting has a shelf life as a woman, that she will act until she is pretty. And then she will do something else. She can't imagine that she thought like that, but she did.
Starring Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Sanjana Sanghi, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, 'Dhak Dhak' features four ordinary women who unite for an extraordinary journey filled with emotions, adventures, and discoveries as they set out on a bike trip from Delhi to Khardung La. Directed by
