Watch: Taapsee Pannu and Akshay Kumar give self defense techniques to women!

Taapsee Pannu and Akshay Kumar have released a special video for girls and women, where Taapsee is asking them to be brave enough to fight the ever-prevalent issue of eve-teasing. She speaks about how it's high time women stopped freezing with shock and being helpless when someone tries to behave inappropriately with them.

Danger is lurking everywhere and they must take their safety in their own hands and defend with utmost courage. She further adds that the biggest weapon every woman has is her own self and it isn't difficult to act and react to protect one's self.

To explain this correctly, she demonstrates a Kudo move, along with someone who's trained her and who she considers to be the very best in the martial arts discipline, Akshay Kumar. Kudo is a modern form of martial arts and together, the duo teach the viewers Taapsee's favourite self defense technique, which she calls, "Kohni Maar," or hitting with the elbow.  Both Akshay and Taapsee teach the viewers a few tricks to carry out "Kohni Maar" successfully, and fight eve-teasing. 

Taapsee plays the titular role in her upcoming film, Naam Shabana, India's first spin-off, based on her character in the film, Baby. She is essaying the role of an undercover agent and has undergone rigorous training sessions to learn martial arts in order to perform action-packed sequences. 

Having acquired self defense training, Taapsee understands the importance of knowing these techniques as they would help women protect themselves in every unforeseen situation. Neeraj Pandey's Naam Shabana directed by Shivam Nair is all set to release on March 31, 2017.
