Actress Ratna Pathak Shah cited Deepti Naval's example and said that several actors didn't get their due in the film industry.
She added that in the 80s, commercial or non-commercial cinema was mostly dominated by Shabana Azmi, Om Puri, Smita Patil and Naseeruddin Shah, while she, Pankaj Kapur and Supriya Pathak didn't get many opportunities.
