Shabana Azmi

"I hate the term “Bollywood”. It is pejorative, suggesting that all of Indian cinema is imitating Hollywood films, which does great disservice to Indian cinema. I prefer to call it the Indian film industry and yes, there is increasing awareness of Indian films among international audiences today", - Shabana Azmi
