Lots of positive stuff for female stars in showbiz: Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan feels the attitude towards women is changing for good in India. The Indian superstar says there are lots of positive developments for female actors in the film industry.

The actor expressed his views on the changing gender dynamics in Indian entertainment industry in an interview to BBC Asian Network. He was in London to receive an honorary doctorate in Philanthropy from The University of Law, London.

"The roles of women and the kind of attitude you have at the workplace for women is changing for positive," Shah Rukh is seen saying in the video shared on the official Twitter handle of BBC Asian Network.

"There will be discrepancies and ups and downs too. There were times when I was working in the 1990s that if a lady got married, she normally did not have the opportunity to come back and act in a film. "But now they are married and acting in films and its so seamless and nice, so I think lots of positive stuff for female actors in the film industry," he added.

On the film front, Shah Rukh has failed to generate box office hits despite his wide fan following and 'superstar' status.
