Actresses Raashi Khanna and Rakul Preet Singh released special
videos on the occasion of International Women's Day on Wednesday. Both of them
have very important messages to share with the world.
In a video titled 'Believe in You', narrated and
produced by Raashi, the 'Jil' actress asks 'Why are we afraid
living the way we want to. Why do you have to compromise your dreams and give
up. Whom are constantly fighting, whom are you competing with?'
She went on add that as women, they are not here to race against
men, but to thrive together.
'A soul has no gender, yet we are fortunate to have a
woman's body. Fortunate to be the most beautiful expression of the universe.
Embrace it and celebrate. You're beautiful and powerful and deserve every chance
in the world. Then, what is that stops you? Is that judgmental voices that discourage
or is it something that's within,' she said.
Raashi said women should define the way they want to be.
Rakul Preet, on the other hand, in a very different take on
Women's Day, asked in a video why we remember women, their achievements and
their struggle just for a day.
She asked why it always takes a Sunita Williams or a Nirbhaya
to make people talk about us.
She also asked why it is an issue with what women wear and
how they look, and why do they need to be corrected about whom they choose to
love.
Rakul also made it clear that women don't scale heights by
hooking up with their bosses, and that their intellect shouldn't be considered
lesser.
On a concluding note, she said women don't need any hypocrytic
celebration in the name of Women's Day.
