	'Wazir' stars Amitabh Bachchan, Aditi Rao Hydari, Farhan Akhtar and Varun Gulu.

Actress Shefali Shah feels the image of the on-screen mother has undergone a massive change in Bollywood and is now reduced to just cardboard characters.
	The actress is playing mother to Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra in Zoya Akhtar's "Dil Dhadakne Do". She is paired opposite Anil Kapoor in the film.
	Citing the example of on-screen mothers like Nirupa Roy in "Deewar", Waheeda Rehman in "Trishul", Dina Pathak in "Khubsoorat" and Raakhee in "Shakti" and "Ram Lakhan", Shefali said in the in 60s-70s a story was incomplete without a strong matriarchal figure but today such roles are often cliched.
	"There have been incredible mothers in films in the past. In fact, earlier mothers were a far more prominent feature in a film... In the 60s-70s, no story was complete without a mother but today such roles have become cliched. Now, in most films, mothers have become marginalised, they are mere props instead of propellers of the story," Shefali told PTI.

The box-office success of "Queen", "Piku" and "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" may point towards an increase in acceptance of female-centric films, but director Aanand L Rai says such movies, though few and far between, always did well.
	The director, known for his opinionated and headstrong female characters be it Raanjhanaa's Zoya or Tanu Weds Manu's Tanuja and now her lookalike Datto, said viewers were always receptive to such stories, it is just that filmmakers stopped making them.
	"I think we have started believing in our audience now. We have always underestimated them. Such movies were always there be it 'Mother India','Chalbaaz' or 'Chandni Bar'. We don't make such stories but whenever we do, they are successful. The audience want to watch a good story. You need to tell it properly," Rai told PTI.
	Though actresses in Rai's films have equal screen space as their male counterparts, the director said he does not do it consciously.

Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce, has revealed that it was hard for her to choose a female moniker.
	The 65-year-old star said she needed to watch the Miss America pageant to get some inspiration, reported Ace Showbiz.
	"It's one of the hardest things in life - choosing your own name," Caityln said.
	She began her attempt to look for a new name over two years ago. She watched the pageant and liked Heather and Cathy, but hadn't decided one name for herself.
	It was her assistant who suggested Caitlyn and she responded, "I love that name, too!"
	The next thing she needed to do was deciding the spelling of that name.
	She had a hard time to decide whether to use "k" or "c" for the initial letter, given the "k" trademark on the names of the Jenner-Kardashian family members.
	However, she found that it was a good moment to break the tradition and decided to use "c" instead of "k.
