“Women should keep striving hard. Nobody should tell you what to do with your money. Things are changing gradually, even though we are not fully there yet. I am proud of the females currently making waves in the industry.”

Halima also stated that many men in the entertainment industry see women as a sexual objects, rather than professionals. She added:

“Men have a bad notion about women in the industry. They downgrade women, especially the young ones that are trying to make it. They see women as sex objects. Many of them feel that women are not capable of doing good jobs.”

The actress added that the industry was being destroyed by cabals. In her words:

“If a lady decides to do a movie, she will hear things like, ‘She thinks she has grown’. A friend could even be the one to throw one under the bus, spilling secrets one does not want people to know.”
