Indiawaali Maa actress Sucheeta Trivedi is not someone who just plays strong and powerful characters on-screen, even off-screen she is known for expressing her opinions without any fears or judgement. And she feels there is a need to talk about the hardships that a female hairdresser goes through. Addressing their plight, she said, "There are very few female hairdressers who want to work in the film industry because the job here comes with a 14-16 hours shift. Now imagine if someone is taking up this work that mean they must be in a dire need that`s why they leave their kids, family and home for such long hours. To begin with they need to have a card which allows them to work in the industry, and to get that card they need to pay around Rs.1 lakh. If someone has that kind of money, why will they sweat for 14-16 hours?"
"Someone who takes the local trains and buses to commute, who can`t even afford to travel in an auto, where will they get one lakh from? If the industry can talk about women empowerment and encouraging women then the first thing that needs to be done is that their committee should reduce the charges of that card, and make it affordable to more such women who want to make an identity for themselves," she added.
