She is the anti-dote the industry needs.
She may have burned a lot of bridges but she is also making new ones for herself and for others like her.
She still has movies coming, she has a production house and may enter direction soon, with this new Made In India wave, she may gain in that too with respect to endorsements as she has been a staunch believer in going local.
she has had a drastic change and I think the ridicule and when pushed to a corner because of the HR issue and nepotism issue, she was shunned and pressured to either leave or be boycotted. luckily, that was THE time she ht gold with her success at the BO and winning the national award and with that, she had a voice.
Now she could have gone 2 ways, either she would have succumbed and sucked up to the Bollywood mafia or chose to take them head-on and she decided on the latter.
It was after 2016 was when there was a change in her both in terms of ideology and voice.
It takes guts when mafia writes you off, make every attempt to write you off, emotionally pressurize you saying that your only choice is to back off or commit suicide, to label you all sorts of things. I think that phase brought out a side where she no longer cared and that fear of losing was gone.
I think by that time, she was financially secure, her communication skills improved, her ideology changed and she had a strong voice with family-supporting her which matters a lot when you fight back.
