"Actresses are playing characters that are adapted from society. I don't think every woman wears make-up or hair extensions. Films like Dangal [2016] and Sultan [2016] went on to do terrific business, and actresses in these films weren't dolled up the way we usually see them. This is happening only because the audience has evolved. They are concentrating on stories and not on the actors' looks."
