On the occasion of International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8, veteran actor Anupam Kher spoke about the vital role women play in society and the importance of empowering them. Reflecting on his personal experiences and beliefs, Kher highlighted the respect and love women deserve every day.
In a conversation with ANI, Kher shared his thoughts: “The first person who comes into the life of a person is a woman in the form of the mother. A mother is the first love of everyone…I was raised in a house where I saw women getting a lot of respect. I personally feel that Women’s Day is celebrated every day. I celebrate Women’s Day every day. I congratulate everyone today, and it is very important that we empower women.”
International Women’s Day is a global celebration recognizing the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. It also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the need to uplift women across the world.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also paid tribute to ‘Nari Shakti’ on this special day, acknowledging the strength and contributions of women. In a post on X, PM Modi announced that his social media platforms would be taken over by women from diverse fields, allowing them to share their achievements and inspire others.
“We bow to our Nari Shakti on #WomensDay! Our Government has always worked for empowering women, reflecting in our schemes and programmes. Today, as promised, my social media properties will be taken over by women who are making a mark in diverse fields!” the Prime Minister posted.
Meanwhile, on the professional front, Anupam Kher is gearing up for his next film, ‘Tumko Meri Kasam,’ directed by Vikram Bhatt. The film is loosely inspired by the life of Dr. Ajay Murdia, the founder of Indira IVF, a nationwide chain of fertility clinics.
