Farida Jalal is angry
When Farida Jalal was seen playing the roles of mother and mother figure on the big screen in Hindi cinema, she considered herself typecast. He felt that male actors were being offered better and better roles than him. But not them. She did not get a chance to show her acting skills, where she could prove herself that she was not made for the role of a mother. In fact, she knows how to do other roles well.
Complaining about being typecast, Farida Jalal said in a conversation with Times of India – I kept waiting for a challenging role to be offered, because I wanted to showcase my talent. Wanted to show her versatility. Every time the role of mother and grandmother seemed off to me. I am angry with the makers because they did not see any talent in me beyond these roles. Nor did he consider me worthy of this.
