Can you name any one big Hollywood female director? No right?
But if I asked you the same question just in regards to Bollywood, these names will instantly pop up. Gauri Shinde. Zoya Akhtar. Kiran Rao and even to an extent Farah Khan (although predominantly in entertainment, but she is still an extremely popular director in Bollywood).
