Mysuru: There was a time when women stage artistes were looked down with contempt. However, that view has changed in recent times, said renowned Theatre Director and Padmashree B. Jayashree.
She was speaking at the 62nd Kannada Rajyotsava celebrations organised by Book Clubs 2015 at Mahajana PU College's Swami Vivekananda auditorium, here yesterday and said that whenever anyone tried to put down the women stage artistes, she would throw a challenge at them, saying, “Come and perform on the stage if you have the guts and then talk about us.”
