Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal said in 2015 that she was turned down for the role of a 55-year-old actor's love interest at the age of 37. Actress shruti haasan responded to this claim. According to shruti in a recent interview, the notion that hollywood performers are "more advanced and enlightened" is false. She continued by saying that because it is a "male-driven society, environment, and industry," "everyone is struggling with the same thing." shruti said that it was "natural in society" for a younger lady to be dating an older man.
In 2015, Maggie said in an interview with TheWrap Magazine, "I'm 37 and I recently heard I'm too old to portray the lover of a man who's 55. I was astounded by it. It first made me feel horrible, then angry, and last it made me giggle. Many actresses are currently performing outstanding work while portraying complex, real-life women. I don't feel at all hopeless.
Shruti stated in an interview with Pinkvilla, "The fact that not many people ask whether an older woman wants to get married or date again while she is dating a younger man, which I believe is the standard in society, is social conditioning. Your usage of a hollywood actress as an example—we think they are more progressive and forward-thinking because they deal with the same issues—is absurd. The planet, society, and industry are all dominated by men. We therefore fit within that. Am I up against the questioning itself? No, not just now."
