Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan who is currently shooting for his next ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ at the historic Mehrangarh Fort, expressed that it was heartening to see women working on the sets of a film, a place where they were nonexistent at a time. The veteran actor took to his personal blog and he praised the women for their discipline and efficiency.
“... 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...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....”
He further wrote, “... 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.”
Even other Bollywood celebrities like Anushka Sharma, Twinkle Khanna, Juhi Chawla and Varun Dhawan also took to their social media handle to wish their fans on International Women’s Day.
Anushka Sharma wrote, “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.”
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.”
Juhi Chawla tweeted, “Happy Women’s Day... To every little girl who believes she can... YES she CAN!”
Varun Dhawan wrote, “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.”
'Thugs Of Hindostan' also stars Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Shaikh in lead roles.
