Kiran Rao feels small interventions can bring changes
Kiran, in an earlier interview with PTI had said that although most women have not experienced being under the veil, they could still relate to the film. She said, “There's some sort of universality in a woman's experience across classes and a lot of that goes unacknowledged, unseen or unrepresented in cinema.” Kiran further added, “Hearing the response to the film, I realised that it's possible to change the status quo with very small interventions and reclaim some space for ourselves, even within the setup that we, maybe, cannot change. That has been nice to hear from women.”
