As the world gears up to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March, a pertinent question looms ~ how far have we truly come in achieving gender equality? In India, women have risen to positions of power, yet they continue to battle the deeply entrenched patriarchal mindset that seeks to diminish their contributions and limit their aspirations.
Celebrate International Day of the Girl Child with our curated list of Bollywood films that highlight girl empowerment, gender equality.
The petition filed by NGO Justice For Rights Foundation through advocate Amit Kumar Sharma is likely to come up for hearing before the High court on Friday, August 28.
"All n all GS remains a petty film missing the larger picture and essence of a soldier's life, proving her opponents right who said we are here to protect Bharat Mata but you are here for equal opportunity, that's pretty much sums up the film in the end Gunjan wins not India.SAD," read one tweet.
Netizens trolled the filmmaker for the gender bias portrayed in his latest production venture, "Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl".
Directed by Sharan Sharma, the cast also features Pankaj Tripathi, Angad Bedi, Viineet Kumar, Manav Vij and Ayesha Raza.
Janhvi took to Instagram and shared a note written by Saxena, who said that the teaser brough back memories.
Janhvi will also be collaborating with her father on the work front.
This is also the first time that the father-daughter duo will be seen together.
Gunjan Saxena was the first Indian woman combat aviator to fly into a war zone during the Kargil War, twenty years ago.
