India, Aug. 5 -- As conversations around Alia Bhatt and Sharvari-starrer Alpha continue to divide opinions, actor Kajol has come out in support of the film. "You have a film like Alpha that's come out, which is an action film. I think the idea of it was absolutely fantastic," she says, adding that the portrayal of women on-screen have drastically changed over her three decades in the industry. Kajol, who turns 52 today, has been a part of women-centric projects, including web-series The Trial, and films Do Patti (2024) and Maa (2025). The actor believes that Hindi cinema is finally moving towards giving female characters the space that they deserve. "We're definitely moving in the right direction when it comes to women-led stories. I don't know whether it's a better light or not, but it's definitely more of a spotlight," she says, adding, "They're writing better characters for women. They are giving women more of a chance to be more than just a side plot, which I feel is a good trend that we're going towards."...
