The process of self-discovery that Maanvi Gagroo`s character Siddhi Patel undergoes in the latest season of Four More Shots Please 2, formed for a major chunk of the show. Deftly portrayed by Gagroo, the role saw her character come into her own and accept her flaws. "When the script came to me, I was amazed by the writing. Siddhi`s sexual awakening is a large part of the series. Female sexuality is written in broad strokes. Woman have, so far, been portrayed as either virgins or sluts. She is either goody-two-shoes or a vamp. So, normalising stories [of regular women] is imperative," says the actor, who has been nominated in the mid-day and Radio City Hitlist OTT Awards in the Best Supporting Actor — Series category.
Gagroo credits films like Thappad and Pink for having showcased women`s concerns accurately. "Women`s stories must be allowed to shine and fall with dignity. I know women have found our show heartening. They find the abandonment with which these girls live their lives inspiring."
