Actor Khushbu Sundar recently appeared in a Hindi film after a long time, playing a cameo in Suresh Triveni's Subedaar. In an interview, Khushbu, who has been working in films for 45 years, expressed her difficulty in giving advice to younger female stars today.
Speaking with ANI, Khushbu praised the new generation of women actors, stating that there's much to learn from them in the evolving film industry. “The girls today are very smart and fantastic actors. They come having done all their homework, so it becomes quite difficult to give them any advice. In fact, there is a lot to learn from them. When I look at the new girls today, the way they handle their makeup, their costumes, and their overall presentation. I feel that instead of giving them advice, we should focus on what we can learn from them,” the actor said.
Khushbu then praised actors like Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt for taking Indian cinema global with their appearances at award shows. “Priyanka Chopra will be seen at the Oscars as a presenter. Alia Bhatt was recently present at the BAFTAs. It has become essential in today's era to break those walls we build,” she added.
Khushbu is currently seen on Prime Video's Subedaar, directed by Suresh Triveni. Although her role was a brief one in the film, it was pivotal to the film's plot. Talking about her work in the film, she said, “For me, more than the 'length' of the role, as you saw in Subedaar, is more important. I am more interested in how significant that character is to the cinema. Talks are ongoing; if something interesting comes up, I will do it.”
