Manushi Chhillar on misogyny that women face in the public eye: ‘Women aren't given credit in the way that a man would'
Manushi Chhillar recently called out the presence of misogyny in the film industry, saying women are discussed with disrespect. Now, the actor has revealed her decision to speak up about the matter, saying that it's time women receive the recognition and respect they deserve. Also read: Manushi Chhillar reveals her biggest challenge has been 'journey as an actor': I've always been naturally guarded person Manushi Chhillar will soon be seen in Maalik. Recently, Manushi spoke up about the perception towards women in the entertainment industry, stating that they are often 'discussed with such disrespect and contempt'. Taking to her X account, Manushi called out the misogynistic attitudes that prevail in the industry. 'I don't think it's something which happens everywhere, and I don't think that everyone is like that, but I do see it happen sometimes — where women aren't given the credit in the way that a man would be,' Manushi tells us when asked about what prompted her talk about the issue. 'I feel we need to give women credit where it's due, especially in their professional lives, and acknowledge the fact that there are multiple women achievers who succeed based on their talent, hard work, and dedication, just like we do with men,' adds the actor, who has been named as the brand ambassador of Wella Professionals for the Indian market. On her fitness regimen After Manushi won the crown at the Miss World 2017 pageant, she decided to enter Bollywood through Samrat Prithviraj. Manushi went on to do projects such as The Great Indian Family and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. For her, fitness has been an integral part of her journey, from beauty pageants to Bollywood. She emphasises that fitness is a lifestyle, not just limited to gym time. She believes that people often dedicate time to working out but undermine their efforts by making unhealthy choices for the rest of the day. 'I'd say that it's a lifestyle (her fitness being her priority). I see a lot of people dedicating a certain amount of time to go work out at the gym, but then, you know, the rest of the day they're probably not eating well, or they're living a very lethargic lifestyle,' she says. The actor adds, 'These are choices you have to make all the time, and you need to make sure that you're supporting that one hour at the gym with making healthier choices — from the food that you're eating to not sitting for a very long time. So I'd say fitness is holistic, and you need to make it a lifestyle instead of just a choice for an hour or two'. On her on-screen persona The actor mentions that her hair has been a very integral part of her on-screen presence. 'My hair has always been a key part of my confidence and on-screen presence, which is why I take its care seriously. Over time, I've learned that hair care secrets lie in both internal and external nourishment, especially with the constant exposure to heat styling, pollution, and frequent travel,' shares Manushi, who will soon be seen in Maalik alongside Rajkummar Rao. Talking about haircare, she adds, 'I make it a point to keep it clean and healthy by maintaining a scheduled hair wash routine. On rushed days or when I'm having a bad hair day, I often opt for a sleek hairstyle—it's quick, simple, and always works. More importantly, I believe that a healthy lifestyle, eating well, staying hydrated and getting enough rest, forms the foundation for strong, beautiful hair. Choosing the right products and focusing on getting the basics right is the key. I've come to really appreciate treatments that nourish without weighing hair down".

Manushi Chhillar on her mission to raise awareness on menstrual health, ‘Now times have changed...'
In addition to being an actress, former Miss World Manushi Chhillar is also a women's health advocate- something which she achieves through her non-profit initiative, 'Project Shakti'. As part of the initiative, she paid a visit to a Mumbai school to spread awareness about menstrual hygiene and distributed sanitary pads. In an attempt to break the taboo around menstruation, Chhillar said, 'Aaj humare paas yeh saadhan hai ki hun pad pehen sakte hai, hum kaam kar sakte hai, hum school aa sakte hai. Lekin Pehle yeh nahi hote the. Abhi khade hoke kaam karne mein aasani hai. Pehle kitchen pura zameen pe hota hai toh aap baithke kaam karte the. Toh uss waqt yeh kahan jaata tha ki aap rest karein, aap iss Tarah ka kaam naa kare jisse aapko aur zyada dikkat ho, aur zyada dard ho, aur zyada takleef ho. Isliye kehte the ki aap kitchen ka kaam naa karein. Ab samay badal gaya hai. Lekin woh jo rules lagaye gaye the, woh abhi tak follow kiye jaate hai. (Today we have the means to get menstrual pads - we can work and can also go to school. But that wasn't the case before. Now it's easy to work while standing. Earlier, the kitchen used to be on the ground, so you would have to sit to work. At that time, it was said that you should rest, you shouldn't do work that causes more difficulty, increased pain, or discomfort. That's why it was said that you should not do kitchen work. Now times have changed. But the rules that were set back then are still being followed.) Not just now, but during the COVID-19 lockdown as well, Chhillar had requested the state governments to provide free sanitary pads and essentials such as iron supplements, to those females who were unable to afford it. On the professional front, Chhillar has two promising projects in the lineup - 'Maalik' opposite Rajkummar Rao and 'Tehran' alongside John Abraham.
