The
75th
Independence
Day
is
here
and
today
(August
15),
we
the
people
of
India
are
celebrating
freedom
with
joy
and
proud.
This
year's
Independence
Day's
celebration
will
be
a
tribute
to
COVID-19
warriors
who
have
been
working
continuously
to
save
people's
lives
from
a
deadly
virus.
Coming
back
to
freedom,
Mahatma
Gandhi,
Bhagat
Singh,
Chandrashekhar
Azad,
Netaji
Subhas
Chandra
Bose
and
others
had
fought
hard
to
make
India
independent
country.
But
when
we
talk
about
freedom,
one
question
comes
in
our
mind
is
how
much
women
are
free
in
India.
Speaking
about
the
same,
actress
Koena
Mitra
has
exclusively
shared
her
views
to
Filmibeat.
Sharing
her
thoughts
on
freedom
of
women
in
India,
Koena
Mitra
said,
"Women
are
free
everywhere,
they
should
know
how
and
when
to
claim
themselves.
Men
are
apparently
empowering
women;
I
keep
reading
their
quotes
and
laugh
out
loud.
They
came
from
women!!
Every
living
being
came
from
females.
What
empowerment?"
The
original
'Saki
Saki'
fame
feels
that
women
should
stand
up
for
themselves
when
they
get
targeted
or
tortured
by
men.
Koena
Mitra
considers
the
world
is
women's
empire.
The
actress
said,
"When
women
are
targeted
or
tortured
they
must
stand
up
for
themselves
and
remind
men
that
they
came
out
of
vaginas!
They
should
empower
their
sons,
and
teach
them
the
art
of
co-existing
with
women!
Many
women
failed.
We
see
some
misogynist,
aggressive,
bullies
promoting
Women
Empowerment.
Funny!
They
must
know
that
the
world
is
our
empire
and
we
are
born
empowered."
"Freedom
is
a
state
of
mind.
Some
women
need
reminders
not
freedom.
They
are
born
free," Koena
added.
On
a
related
note,
Koena
Mitra
was
last
seen
in
a
controversial
reality
show,
Bigg
Boss
Season
13
which
was
hosted
by
Salman
Khan.
Fans
are
now
waiting
to
see
her
again
on
the
big
screen.
