Megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan,
who
is
shooting
for
"Thugs
of
Hindostan" at
the
historic
Mehrangarh
Fort
here,
today
said
that
it
was
heartening
to
see
women
working
on
the
sets
of
a
film,
a
place
where
they
were
"nonexistent"
at
a
time.
The
75-year-old
veteran
actor
took
to
his
personal
blog
where
he
praised
the
women
for
the
efficiency
and
discipline
they
brought
on
location
of
the
Vijay
Krishna
Acharya-directed
project.
"...
The
entire
controls
barring
a
few,
are
managed
by
the
ladies...
Efficient,
demanding,
disciplined,
screaming
their
heads
off
to
inefficiency,
but
getting
it
done...
So
so
remarkable..."
"...
And
such
a
joy
to
see
the
ladies
on
set...
a
region
where
they
were
nonexistent
in
the
years
gone
by...
In
my
time
there
were
just
2
on
shoots...
The
leading
lady
and
her
mother...
That's
it..."
Bachchan
wrote.
The
actor
said
the
times
are
changing
fast
as
women
are
coming
forward
to
claim
workplaces,
which
is
their
right."...
A
majority
management
by
young
professionals,
running
the
show
with
panache
and
bearing...
The
industry
changeth...
As
does
the
world
and
its
opinions
on
women...
There's
is
a
voice
that
now
resounds
about
for
their
rightful
place...
For
equality...
For
recognition...
And
for
respect."
Bollywood
celebrities
such
as
Anushka
Sharma,
Twinkle
Khanna,
Juhi
Chawla,
Kajol
and
Varun
Dhawan
also
took
to
social
media
to
wish
their
fans
on
International
Women's
Day.
Anushka
urged
the
women
to
keep
fighting
for
their
rights
and
not
surrender
to
adversities.
"Every
step
makes
a
difference
when
you
believe
in
something
strongly
and
do
your
bit.
It
might
not
show
immediately
but
the
results
do
create
a
ripple
and
an
impact.
To
all
the
women
fighting
for
what
they
believe
in,
don't
give
up!
Happy
#WomensDay."
Twinkle

a
text
from
a
friend
on
Twitter
that
read,
"Embrace
your
divine
feminine
power
this
#WomensDay...

it
works
because
instantly
I
am
in
full
Kali
Ma
mode
wanting
to
stab
him
with
my
Trishul."
Juhi
tweeted,
"Happy
Women's
Day...
To
every
little
girl
who
believes
she
can...
YES
she
CAN!"

you

a

#happywomensday."

Beyonce's
hit
number
"Run
the
world" and

he
hopes
women
are
respected
every
day,
not
just
on

Day."WHO

respect
women
because
we
need
to
do
it
everyday,"
