Mitta Antony was on the verge of giving up on her career as a make-up artist when the Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA) Make-Up Union finally decided to give her a membership this week. But, that decision, making her the first make-up woman to get a membership in the union, comes after years of rejection, struggles and disappointment. When she had applied for a membership eleven years back, she was rejected.
The recognition which comes after working as a make-up artist in 37 films will pave the way for more women to come into the field, says Ms. Antony in an interview to The Hindu on Wednesday.
