Bollywood has changed for the better: Juhi

There have been plenty of changes in Bollywood - people are more organised, there are more women in the industry and infrastructure has improved, says actor-filmmaker Juhi Chawla, who made her debut 25 years ago with ‘Sultanat’.

"There have been plenty of changes in the industry and a lot of them are for the better. The technique and infrastructure have immensely improved; the number of women working in the industry has also increased. Earlier, it used to be just me and my mother on sets, but today we see women working as assistant directors, costume designers and what not," Juhi told reporters.

"People are more organised today. They have scripts ready before hand. In our time, it was not like that. The looks have also changed - earlier it was all traditional, while today they are more modern.

"I won`t say content has changed or deteriorated or it has become superior; there are still good writers who write interesting stories," she added.

The 43-year-old actor has worked in about 90 films and has produced four movies. Comparing the two roles, Juhi says being a producer is a more daunting task than being an actor.

"Being an actor is the easiest. Producers and directors have a lot more to do. They really have to be on their toes in order to get everything ready - from scripting to actual production work. It is a challenging task," she said.
