However, a bunch of bold and courageous women broke those age-old moulds of discrimination, to bring about an evolution of equality in our country, she added. Bhumi corroborated her choice of words with the movie saying that Chandro and Prakashi started a revolution.

The Shubh Mangal Saavdhan star also added that she is inspired by the Tomar sisters.
