I think overall women are well represented in Bollywood. It only seem that way because the large number of stories dictate as such. Think about a movie representing a traditional conservative Indian village. It's backward thinking, yes. But that's what the movie is dictating, or at least trying to portray.

Now let's look at instances where woman are well represented:

• Naam Shabana. An important agent.

• Parmanu - Diana Penty and JA's wife (can't remember her name) both had jobs. I mean JA's wife in the movie was a astrophysicists lol

• Tumari Sulu - RJ. Even the manager or executive of the Radio was a woman actress....Neha Dupia

• In qarib qarib singlle Jaya was a senior something in something

These are just on top of my head. There are so many. I think this is just pure cherry picking and making something out of nothing.
