Sara Ali Khan, Shilpa Shetty, Kalki Koechlin, Ananya Panday Take Part In 'Women Supporting Women'

Kangana Ranaut's recent attacks on fellow Bollywood actresses such as Taapsee Pannu, Swara Bhaskar and Richa Chadha has made it ever more important for women of the film industry to band together in support and appreciation of each other. In light of this, a new Instagram challenge called 'Women Supporting Women' has been picked up by the women of the Hindi film industry. Actresses like Ananya Panday, Sara Ali Khan, Shilpa Shetty, Kalki Koechlin, Lisa Ray, Iulia Vantur and others have been sharing black and white pictures of themselves and tagging other women to do so.

"Uplift, Don't Belittle," Writes Shilpa

Sharing her photo, Shilpa Shetty wrote, "#ChallengeAccepted: We're living in times where we now realise the importance of lifting each other up instead of pulling someone down. We are gradually acknowledging the truth that tomorrow isn't guaranteed to any of us. So, all we have is ‘today'... and we have each other. Let's join forces together and make each day better for everyone around us. Support our women tribe through the worst times, lend a helping hand (if possible) when you see another woman juggling too many things, and appreciate the efforts one has put in even if they didn't succeed. We're all in this together. "Uplift, don't belittle"❤️💪🏼🤗🧿. Thank you, @kanikasanger, for making me a part of this wonderful tribe that personifies #strength. #WomenInspiringWomen #WomenEmpowerment."
