Amitabh Bachchan SPEAKS UP on the women of today!

We know the viewpoint that megastar Amitabh Bachchan holds about the ill happenings that women face in our country. His one statement in the National Award winning film PINK, “No Means No” sums up his entire viewpoint for us.

But, to elaborate further on what he meant by that statement, we will refer to excerpts out of his foreword in the book titled PINK The Inside Story.

One excerpt reads, “Many crimes against women go unreported because women are scared to go to the police station, where they may face further harassment. Legal recourse is the fundamental right of every citizen and women have been denied that right because society does not like a woman who confronts her tormentors,”

Another one reads, “Women today are more educated and financially more secure; they are ambitious and assertive; and yet, there seems to be no end to the atrocities perpetrated against women. You just have to pick up the newspaper every morning to know this,”

Given the current scenario of the Global Entertainment industry, where artists are calling out on all the Harvey Weinstein in the world, these statements by Big B fit in a perfect way.
