Hollywood actress and film producer Nicole Kidman, who was recently seen at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, was honoured with the Kering Women in Motion Award, a moment that became more than just an acknowledgment of her illustrious career, but also became a powerful statement for change.

Nicole Kidman calls out ageism in Hollywood; Ridhi Dogra agrees and says, “It’s a world over thing”

While accepting the award, Kidman used her platform to speak out about the urgent need for better representation of women in Hollywood, especially as they age. Addressing an industry that often sidelines women once they reach a certain age, she stated with clarity and conviction. She said, “We need to give women better roles, particularly as they get older. We are here, and we can prove to you that we will make money for you. Invest in us and believe in us, because our voices are so important.”

Her statement was not just a call to action but a reflection of a long-standing struggle faced by women in film and society at large.

One of the voices from India who immediately resonated with Nicole’s message was actress Ridhi Dogra. Known for her strong performances and fearless portrayal of layered characters, Ridhi has consistently stood for women empowerment and breaking stereotypes in entertainment. Reacting to Nicole’s quote, Ridhi took to Instagram stories and wrote, “It’s a world over thing. And once people start to identify this as not just a ‘frivolous movie making topic’ but a direct reflection of how women are viewed and expected to be in society, you’ll agree with us. If not, join us in this space!”

Nicole Kidman and Ridhi Dogra’s voices are a reminder that it’s time for industries and audiences to recognize the power and potential of women at every stage of life.
