‘Changes
Are
Slowly
And
Gradually
Happening
Now’
Women
no
longer
stay
in
confines,
how
happy
are
you
with
the
change?
Yes,
it's
great
to
see
the
system
getting
progressive,
and
women
in
all
spears
of
life
are
doing
very
well.
They
are
not
holding
themselves
back.
As
far
as
equality
is
concerned,
it
is
somewhere
prevailing
because
it
was
never
about
going
one
step
ahead
of
the
other
sex.
It
was
always
as
simple
as
being
given
our
basic
rights
with
all
being
treated
equally.
It
is
slowly
and
gradually
happening
now.
We
have
seen
successful
women
entrepreneurs,
who
are
doing
well
despite
being
married
or
mothers
of
children.
It's
definitely
a
big
relief.
‘Society
Is
Inspiring
Us
And
We
Are
Also
Inspiring
Society’
Talking
about
television,
films
or
the
web,
people
no
longer
portray
women
as
damsels
in
distress.
Do
you
think
we
took
quite
a
long
to
adapt
to
this
change?
That
is
such
a
breath
of
fresh
air
to
be
able
to
portray
women
in
a
stronger
light.
Someone
who
doesn't
need
a
hero
to
save
her.
She
is
her
own
heroine
if
I
may
say
so.
Yes,
it
did
take
quite
some
time
to
change.
In
fact,
we
do
have
certain
regressive
shows.
But
again,
having
said
that
there
is
a
certain
section
of
the
audience
who
definitely
watches
those
kinds
of
shows.
There
is
still
a
large
section
of
society
that
has
not
adapted
to
this
change.
With
the
web
shows' arrival,
there
are
a
lot
of
such
content-driven
shows
where
women
are
being
shown
like
the
women
today
who
really
don't
need
any
kind
of
saving.
They
are
enough
for
themselves.
They
are
absolutely
independent
and
go-getters.
They
are
achieving
their
dreams.
So
those
kinds
of
women's
portrayal
is
definitely
more
on
the
web
which
is
great
because
a
lot
of
youth
are
watching
it.
I
think
somewhere
we
influence
our
society
too.
Society
is
inspiring
us
and
we
are
also
inspiring
society.
‘Education
Is
A
Big
Factor
To
Eradicate
That
Aspect
From
Our
Society’
Women
in
some
parts
of
India
are
still
dismayed
and
looked
down
upon.
What
according
to
you
can
be
done
to
eradicate
that
aspect
from
our
system
altogether?
I
feel
education
is
a
big
factor
to
eradicate
that
aspect
from
our
society.
A
lot
of
enlightening
is
needed
apart
from
the
textbooks.
I
feel
if
we
could
have
even
counsellors
to
give
counselling
to
the
kids
from
the
early
level
in
school.
I
feel
people
should
speak
openly.
Eventually,
when
you
are
in
the
real
world,
these
are
the
things
that
inspire
you
as
children.
Every
institution
should
be
open
to
have
conversations,
which
will
definitely
help
in
a
big
way.
But
yes,
if
you
are
talking
about
some
rural
parts,
we
need
to
work
hard
on
their
education
because
it
all
starts
from
the
ground
level.
The
more
women
get
educated,
they
are
going
to
become
stronger
and
more
independent.
Of
course,
men
also
should
get
educated
to
know
women
better.
Education
is
a
must.
‘Toxic
Feminism
Is
Something
That
I
Don’t
Support’
We
talk
about
Women
Empowerment,
but
no
one
addresses
the
pertinent
issue
of
toxic
feminism.
What's
your
take
on
the
same?
I
have
never
been
a
fan
of
women
being
treated
specially.
I
feel
women
have
to
be
treated
equally
at
least.
You
can't
expect
a
men
to
be
a
gentlemen
if
women
are
not
being
courteous.
It
goes
hand-in-hand.
Chivalry
is
also
great
but
I
also
feel
a
modern
woman
going
dutch
for
your
bill.
You
are
equally
independent.
You
can't
really
force
anybody
to
treat
you
like
a
queen.
Toxic
feminism
is
something
that
I
don't
support.
In
fact,
there
have
been
times
where
people
have
played
the
woman's
card
and
gotten
away
from
so
many
things
legally
also,
which
is
wrong.
That
is
not
something
I
support
because
the
women
empowerment
issue
has
just
been
about
being
equal.

On
Her
Women’s
Day
Celebration
Plans
Since
your
mother
is
in
town,
are
you
planning
to
do
something
special
for
her?
This
time,
my
mother
is
with
me.
Whatever
time
I
get
with
her,
I
go
on
a
simple
dinner
with
her.
She
is
happy
about
it.
Nothing
planned
as
yet.
But
for
me,
spending
time
with
her
is
good
enough.
We
are
just
happy
like
that.
She
definitely
had
a
big
role
in
sculpting
me
into
the
woman
that
I
am
today.
For
me,
she
is
a
true
example
of
an
empowered
woman.
For
me,
Women's
Day,
Mother's
Day,
all
days
start
with
her.
