The meeting of the delegation came under fire on Wednesday for its exclusion of female representation with some activists and filmmakers asking, “Where are the women?”
Dia on Thursday took to Twitter to express her disappointment tagging Akshay Kumar in her post, who was part of the 18-member panel that presided over the delegation. “This is wonderful! Is there a reason why there were no women in this room?” tweeted Dia.
