Maitreyi also expressed her thoughts on the lack of representation of actual female groups in mainstream films, adding, “We constantly see on TV and in movies that your love interest is the one with whom you should be closer. You know, like if it were the true bond. That made me suspicious since wouldn’t your childhood best buddy know you better? They know your favourite ice cream flavour and what to do if you’re experiencing a nervous breakdown. That is critical.”
