While Lalit Prabhakar spoke how he has worked with strong women and there has never been a disparity situation with him, he condemned it’s presence in the bigger spaces. At the same time Saie Tamhankar added, “We are sometimes also counter questioned that ‘okay, you have fashion shows, you have events, you have dance shows?’. And I am like well that’s not important. If there is pay disparity, it does exist and we should do something about it. It’s high time.”
Saie Tamhankar also spoke about Marathi content finally making it to the mainstream. She said, “It was always there. I think more eyeballs is what we actually need. We are there to strive for it, we are striving for it and people like you are content that whatever we do will reach to various people not only Marathi people and non-Maharastrians also. Because we have subtitles and now people have started watching all types of content. Cross-overs are happening and it is brilliant. Because of that the lines are blurred and it’s an amazing time to collaborate and it’s an amazing time to try new things.”
