The Baa Bahoo Aur Baby actress further stressed that these hairdressers are most of the time deprived of basic amenities on the sets. "They need to get the artists ready on time, so if the shoot begins at 9 a.m. they need to get the actors ready before that and many a times they miss their breakfast because of it. Then they need to be present during shots and even then when they ask for tea, it's mostly delayed or ignored," she said.
"Some of these women try to be cordial with the spot boys so that they can get at least a cup of tea, but they are quickly judged on that and are looked down upon," she added asking "Why do you have this partial attitude towards them?"
Sucheeta went on to say there are a handful of production houses that treat them well, but most of them don't even count a hairdresser a part of their crew. She added, "I have seen that when the stylist leave, these hairdressers help us in getting ready or change, they do a lot of other work too, but if they are seen talking to someone they will be immediately taunted for that, I feel this should change."
"If you can't acknowledge their work at least give them a little respect. This is the least they expect and I want the industry to give more respect to the female hairdressers and a promise that they will be treated well. They are one of us and will always be," Sucheeta concluded.
