Actor Neena Gupta says attitudes about what women should wear have not fundamentally changed. In her comments, she argues that women continue to face expectations and restrictions around clothing and personal choice.

Gupta acknowledges that women’s increased participation in work and financial independence has brought some shifts in how society views gender roles. However, she says there remains a long way to go before women’s decisions—particularly around clothing—are fully respected.

In this coverage, the focus is on social attitudes rather than specific incidents. The emphasis is consistent across the report, presenting Gupta’s view that progress is uneven and that women still encounter pressures tied to cultural norms.
