Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is shooting for “Thugs of Hindostan” at the historic Mehrangarh Fort here, today said that it was heartening to see women working on the sets of a film, a place where they were “nonexistent” at a time.<\/p>\n
The 75-year-old veteran actor took to his personal blog where he praised the women for the efficiency and discipline they brought on location of the Vijay Krishna Acharya-directed project.<\/p>\n
“… The entire controls barring a few, are managed by the ladies… Efficient, demanding, disciplined, screaming their heads off to inefficiency, but getting it done… So so remarkable…<\/p>\n
“… And such a joy to see the ladies on set… a region where they were nonexistent in the years gone by… In my time there were just 2 on shoots… The leading lady and her mother… That’s it…” Bachchan wrote.<\/p>\n
The actor said the times are changing fast as women are coming forward to claim workplaces, which is their right.<\/p>\n
“… A majority management by young professionals, running the show with panache and bearing… The industry changeth… As does the world and its opinions on women… There’s is a voice that now resounds about for their rightful place… For equality… For recognition… And for respect.”<\/p>\n
Bollywood celebrities such as Anushka Sharma, Twinkle Khanna, Juhi Chawla, Kajol and Varun Dhawan also took to social media to wish their fans on International Women’s Day.<\/p>\n
Anushka urged the women to keep fighting for their rights and not surrender to adversities.<\/p>\n
“Every step makes a difference when you believe in something strongly and do your bit. It might not show immediately but the results do create a ripple and an impact. To all the women fighting for what they believe in, don’t give up! Happy #WomensDay.”<\/p>\n
Twinkle shared a text from a friend on Twitter that read, “Embrace your divine feminine power this #WomensDay… And it works because instantly I am in full Kali Ma mode wanting to stab him with my Trishul.”<\/p>\n
Juhi tweeted, “Happy Women’s Day… To every little girl who believes she can… YES she CAN!”<\/p>\n
Kajol shared a funny video in which she can be seen asking, “How are you doing, sweety?”<\/p>\n
She captioned it as, “Fight like a woman #happywomensday.”<\/p>\n
Varun quoted Beyonce’s hit number “Run the world” and said he hopes women are respected every day, not just on Women’s Day.<\/p>\n
“WHO RUN THE WORLD – GIRLSSSS. Happy #InternationalWomensDay. I hope we realise we don’t need a day to remind us to respect women because we need to do it everyday,” he wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
