From feeling cherished to equality for women, Women’s Day is all about celebrations. Here is what these celebrities are doing this Women’s Day.
Hemani Chawla
Well, I genuinely feel every day is Women’s Day. I don’t understand the
concept of celebrating women for only one day. I feel the concept of women's
empowerment has been talked about a lot more than it has been implemented. We
still have a very long way to go, which is why I believe Women’s Day should be
celebrated every day. If there were truly equal privileges, this question would
never need to be asked.

While discussions about women's empowerment have increased, the extent
to which it translates into meaningful action in workplaces varies. Some
organizations have made notable strides in promoting gender equality through
initiatives like diversity programs, mentorship, and policies supporting
work-life balance. However, challenges persist, such as gender pay gaps and
underrepresentation of women in leadership roles. Ongoing efforts and a
commitment to creating inclusive work environments are crucial for turning
empowerment rhetoric into tangible improvements for women in the workplace.
Gender equality in the entertainment industry has seen improvements, but
challenges persist. Women often face issues like pay disparity, limited roles,
and age-related biases. Progress is being made, but there's still work to be
done to ensure equal privileges for both men and women in the industry. Hard
work and confidence are valuable traits for me. They can lead to increased
productivity, resilience in facing challenges, and a positive impact on
personal and professional pursuits. Every day is Women’s Day. We, as women,
should celebrate our every success and achievement and not consider it just for
one day.

For me, Women's Day represents a celebration of the resilience,
achievements, and contributions of women across the globe. It's a reminder of
the importance of advocating for women's rights and creating a world where
every woman can thrive. While there have been advancements in promoting gender
diversity and inclusion, there are still systemic barriers and biases that
hinder women's advancement in many industries. True empowerment means creating
environments where women have equal opportunities for leadership, mentorship,
and career growth. As a woman, I believe my strengths lie in resilience,
empathy, and determination. These qualities have helped me navigate challenges
and pursue my passions with courage and conviction. This Women's Day, my plans
revolve around celebrating the achievements of women who have paved the way for
progress and advocating for those whose voices still need to be heard. Whether
it's attending events, supporting women-owned businesses, or engaging in
conversations about gender equality, I am committed to being an active
participant in the movement towards a more inclusive and equitable society.

It's incredible and amazing how March 8th is celebrated as International
Women's Day, year after year. I love the way women come together, bonding over
stories and celebrating sisterhood. However, I've observed an impact in
workplaces, stemming from my background in banking, where I held a senior
leadership position and advocated for diversity and inclusion. Progress is
slow. Despite lip service to having 25% women on boards and at senior levels,
the reality is different. While entry-level positions may achieve gender
parity, as women progress, their representation narrows. Factors like family
responsibilities contribute to this drop-off. Gender bias, especially at senior
levels, persists. Progress in the industry regarding equal privileges for women
is slow. Personally, I receive respect in my acting and producing roles,
regardless of size. My strengths lie in confidence and humility. I address
disrespect with assertiveness, transmitting my message calmly. I've always
viewed myself as equal and confident, never feeling inferior due to my gender.

It's slowly getting a bit better. Women's achievements and their
seniority are being recognized in the workplace. There are many offices now
where women are getting paid better and are in better positions than men. So,
yeah, every day is a new day, and people have started believing in gender
equality. It's the same in the industry; again, there are heroines who are as
good as heroes and can carry a movie on their own shoulders. But even now, the
pay scale is not equal; the heroes get paid way more. On the other hand, on
television, women are queens. So if you are a television actress, definitely, a
woman has more powerful roles and better pay. No, even on TV, there is no equal
pay for the main lead heroes. So, yes, in some industries, they're equalizing.
As a woman, your strength is the ability to multitask, to give equal attention
to home, earth, and the workplace, and basically have mental power, as opposed
to just physical power, which even women have today. But still,
physiologically, we are made mentally stronger and capable of handling the best
and the worst in life. Women's Day this year coincides with Mahashivaratri.
It's going to be a very energetic day, very energizing. I will spend the day in
prayer and worship of Mahadev, and he will bring new energy into life on earth, I wish all the women the very, very best.
Varsha Hegde
I feel Women’s Day
should be celebrated every day because being a woman is a blessing as you have
the power to create another human being. Being a woman itself is very strong.
You are mentally so strong that you can handle any situation by being resilient,
determined, focused, and being there. I believe in celebrating women every day,
and this women’s day, I want to celebrate it with my mother. She brought me
into this beautiful world, and it’s her strength that she passed on to me.
