2. "Being happy on your own is the toughest thing, Phool. But yes, once you master it, no one can bother you."

Netflix

3. "For centuries, women in this country have been duped. This con is known as 'a respectable girl.'"

Netflix

4. "There's nothing shameful in being a fool. But feeling proud of being a fool is shameful."

Netflix

5. "Women can farm and cook. We can give birth to children and raise them. If you think about it, women don't really need men at all. But if women figured this out, men would be screwed, wouldn't they?"

Chhaya Kadam AKA Manju Maai

You have previously seen her in films like Sairat, and Jhund and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi among others. Talking about the movie, he had previously told Bollywood Hungama in an interview, "The movie is so special for women. It speaks about their education and rights. For example, Phool is happy by being a wife and having that ghoonghat. So that needs to change. But I feel that every woman should get to do what makes her feels good. Like, Jaya (Pratibha) wanted to study further. Even my character got such dialogues to mouth. Like, ‘Maine bhi haq jama diya.’ And I am also like that when it comes to dealing with an abusive husband. So, this film is so important even for single women."
