Actor-filmmaker
Farhan
Akhtar,
who
has
started
an
online
campaign
"Men
against
Rape
and
Discrimination
(MARD)",
says
its
not
just
government's
responsibility
to
create
a
safer
environment
for
women.
He
says
at
an
individual
level
also
we
should
try
and
bring
about
a
change.
"If
we
say
that
it's
only
the
police's
job
and
we
only
sit
at
home
and
play
victim
and
keep
watching
what
is
happening,
then
that's
wrong.
At
an
individual
level
we
should
try
and
bring
about
a
change," the
39-year-old
said
here
on
Wednesday
on
the
sets
of
Indian
Premier
League
(IPL)
show
"Extraaa
Innings".
"The
responsibility
can't
just
lie
on
the
government
servants,
as
citizens
it
is
our
responsibility
as
well,"
added
the
Rock
On!!
actor,
who
came
to
promote
MARD
on
the
show.
The
director
of
films
like
Dil
Chahta
Hai
and
Don
-
The
Chase
Begins,
says
such
campaigns
will
continue
till
things
change.
"My
demand
is
same
as
yours
that
the
society
should
be
safer
for
everyone
-
girls,
women
or
small
girls.
They
should
never
be
scared
about
going
out,
they
should
never
feel
that
they
are
considered
less.
So
these
things
should
change.
Till
that
doesn't
happen,
we
will
have
to
fight
this
war,"
said
Farhan,
a
father
of
two
daughters.
He
is
using
IPL
as
a
platform
to
spread
awareness
among
the
people
about
his
campaign
MARD
and
will
be
distributing
fake
moustaches,
a
symbol
of
his
campaign,
among
the
audiences
at
the
April
26
match
between
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
and
Kings
XI
Punjab
to
be
played
at
Eden
Gardens.
