With more and more women taking different jobs in the industry and even turning producers Madhuri Dixit Nenesays a lot has changed in Bollywood for the better since the '80s and '90s. Madhuri made her debut with "Abodh" in 1984 and went on to be a part of

When I used to do work in the 80s and 90s the only women on the set used to be me, my co-actors who were women or hairdressers. Today when I walk into a set -- from the DOP to the ADs, writers and action masters -- there are women everywhere. I couldn't have imagined they would be in the field

Madhuri praised the gradual shift and said women have moved from being considered as mere "eye-candies" to performing varied roles and they are now even producing the films.

We are also seeing women in action roles which is amazing. Like in 'Gulaab Gang' I did my action role and that film was a very women-centric kind of movie. But we need to make more commercial kinds of movies which are women-centric it will happen slowly. There are a lot of actors like women who are turning producers if they want to make their kind of movies

In recent years Alia Bhatt Alia Bhatt Kriti Sanon Kriti Sanonand Kangana Ranaut Kangana Ranauthave turned to production.

Despite the shift Madhuri said the change won't happen overnight.

Even if it's here or abroad or anywhere, to a certain extent it's a man's world. It will take some time to change that and we're getting there.

Madhuri was most recently seen in "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3" which also stars Kartik Aaryan Triptii Dimri and Vidya Balan in lead roles.

Directed by Anees Bazmee the film is the third installment in the franchise "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" and had its theatrical release on November 1.

The actor said she is actively seeking new and exciting roles that challenge her. "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3" appealed to her because of the horror-comedy genre.

"Being a ghost in Bhulaiyaa 3 was very different. I'm still looking at very different roles and something exciting is going to happen very soon," she said.

Madhuri considers "Tezaab" her first big turning point in cinema. In the film she played Mohini a woman who dances to support her father. Her dance number 'Ek Do Teen' from the movie is popular even today. The N Chandra-directed movie also starring An

The first big turning point for me was 'Tezaab' I started getting recognised after this movie and then other films followed like 'Dil', 'Beta', 'Raja' and 'Kalnayak'.

It was a difficult role and N Chandra (director) extracted such a good performance from me.

She considers the 1992 hit "Beta", directed by Indra Kumar another turning point in her career. The movie again co-starring Kapoor had another hit song in 'Dhak Dhak' which became synonymous with Madhuri.

The actor said the success of "Beta" gave her the opportunity to be part of women-centric dramas like "Mrityudand" and "Pukar" and others.

There was no looking back. I got good opportunities to work with good directors and did films like Pukar which were also very different from what I did on screen whether it was 'Mrityudand' or 'Prahaar' these were more realistic films.

I thoroughly enjoyed 'De Toh Pagal Hai' and all these films. I'm lucky that I'm in a profession that I love."
