Sonam Kapoor Ahuja is known for speaking for her mind. She is not just an actress but an opinionated equal pay advocate and an unapologetic voice in the world of showbiz that never shies away from expressing unadulterated dialogues. Be it her film choices like Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga or the way she uses her presence on the dais, Neerja actress goes the extra mile to say things nobody would dare to otherwise.
Now on the occasion of Internation Women's Day, Sonam is raising pertinent questions that are often swept under the rug, as per convenience. In a thought-provoking stance, Sonam questions the very cause of celebration, the pomp and show when several women are silenced before they are ripe enough to understand the concept of equality. Actress took to instagram and wrote,” 1 million 'unwanted' girls are born in our country as per the Economic Survey 2018. Gender inequality is something so deeply rooted in our culture, it's hard to see where it all began. Was it before a daughter was born, with the question of foeticide looming over the womb? Or once she was a teen and her brothers went to school while she stayed back and was asked to do household chores. What about the women who are overlooked and unappreciated, every single day, simply because of who they are? #WhyHaveWomensDay"
In this post Sonam asked the right questions, even and hopes that the answers to these are not just some arm-chair activism but is raising the voice for real, tangible solutions.
