Amitabh Bachchan to Sonam Kapoor: B-Town hails woman power this International Women's Day

It's March, which is celebrated as International Women's Day across the globe. Though, on this day, one lauds the achievements and contributions of women in their respective area of interests or for the betterment of the society but one actually doesn't need to do that on just one day of the entire year. This can an should be done throughout the year, whenever any woman achieves something. 

 

One must accept that we have a long way to go, in terms of battling age-old social evils against women like gender bias, pay-parity, discrimination, crimes against women and the list goes on. But we must also acknowledge that times are changing and at least a dialogue has been initiated around these very topics. There are men standing up for women and there are women surpassing men in almost every possible field. 

 

On the occasion of International Women's Day. Bollywood celebrities took to their social media accounts to hail women power and celebrate the spirit of womanhood with though provoking messages. While Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar lent their support to women's causes, Kajol's unique Women's Day wish has left us in splits of laughter. 

Check out some of the messages right here:

The idea is not to highlight gender but to move away from the thinking that gender is a boundary at all. #WomensDay

#love #happiness #freedom #beauty #divinity #energy #conviction #courage Women can’t be defined generically, even when mentioned collectively!!! To truly celebrate a woman, it’s important to accept all ‘her’ nuanced differences, her innate strength, momentary vulnerabilities & yes strength again! it’s often said, ‘women are complicated’  well, imagine going through a lifetime of fast paced changes, physically, biologically, emotionally, socially...then realise, just how uncomplicated a ‘woman’ actually makes it all look!!! She’s not perfect, but gives it ‘HER’ all, she’s born with a heart of a nurturer, with the ‘Will’ to be a provider. She’s #shakti not for the lack of fear but for owning courage inspite of it! She’s a force of nature, that drives the seasons..no matter what the role, resilient until the very end! Dugga Dugga #HappyWomensDaywhat a privilege to be born a woman!!! With love & kisses, Alisah, Renée & yours truly!!!I love you guys!!!

SHE is the power in this world. From her first breath, SHE is the hero of all our stories. SHE is not just the reason behind our existence but also the driving force of our lives. Here’s to all that SHE is & all that SHE wants to be! Celebrating the women in our lives today & every day. Happy Women’s Day!
