"Cinema has played a huge role in getting issues to the mainstream and the women have come and slayed the screen and how -- from ''Mother India'' to ''Arth to ''Kahaani'' and ''Queen.

The issues have been paramount for women and no point choosing to have a blind eye to it," said Shama.

They have done an enormous amount of great work and movies seem to be an apt representation of the modern Indian woman taking on the world. The performances have been fantastic by the girls for the longest time and it''s time we acknowledge the fact that nationwide we have to have the same level of empowerment of women in every sector and it will have to be one huge collective effort led by women and men."
