Actor
Sushmita
Sen
says
society
is
moving
in
the
right
direction,
as
women
no
longer
believe
in
elbowing
each
other
to
be
'one
up'.
The
42-year-old
actor
says
the
world
has
become
a
better
place,
as
even
men
are
now
more
supportive
of
women
and
are
accepting
their
individuality.
"What
I
love
about
the
times
we
are
living
in
now
is
that
women
don't
need
to
pull
down
other
women
to
be
better
or
one
up.
Now,
if
somebody
asks
them
to
do
that
they
usually
dump
the
person."
"The
new
generation
of
women
and
even
men
are
far
more
supportive
of
each
other.
I
find
this
excellent.
There
was
a
time
when
everybody
was
busy
doing
'What
is
she
wearing?
How
is
she
looking?' I
am
happy
that
is
changing
now.
I
am
very
glad
to
see
that
because
my
children
are
growing
in
that
environment,"
Sushmita
told
PTI
in
an
interview.
The
actor
says
women
are
now
motivated
enough
to
take
stand
for
themselves.
"I
don't
talk
about
things
like
women
power
and
this
and
that.
Because
I
believe
fighting
for
it
is
saying
we
are
weaker.
I
don't
believe
in
that
concept.
For
me,
there
is
no
fighting
for
women,"
she
says.
Sushmita
believes
another
significant
change
that
has
come
over
the
years
is
that
women
have
become
more
confident
about
their
appearance.
"Life
becomes
easier
when
we
stop
aping
people.
Which
is
on
all
fronts,
be
it
looks,
body
shape
or
anything.
It
is
going
against
the
grain
of
your
DNA.
Everyone
is
build
a
certain
way
and
differently.
If
we
are
not
going
to
appreciate
who
we
are,
the
world
definitely
doesn't
have
the
time
for
us."
"I
believe
people,
especially
women,
have
become
more
accepting
of
who
they
are.
And
if
somebody
doesn't
like
them
that
way
they
don't
shy
away
from
showing
them
the
door."
Sushmita
was
speaking
on
the
sidelines
of
Lakme

Week
Winter/Festive

where
she
walked
the
ramp
for
the
show
presented
by
RMV
Silks
in
collaboration
with

Sunita
Shanker.
