Bollywood is an industry that thrives on spectacle. Headlines are dominated by opening-day numbers, star fees, social media virality and box-office verdicts delivered within hours of a release. This ETimes piece moves the spotlight away from gossip and toward growth. By listening closely to voices from within the industry—actor Alexx O’Nell, actor-producer-entrepreneur Vishakha Singh and actor Kashika Kapoor—it explores the invisible pressures Bollywood normalises, the silences it rewards, and the reforms that could make it a healthier ecosystem for the next generation.
