In an interview with TOI, Chitrangda Singh talked about one of her films, based on sexual assaults awareness, since April is the Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
In the movie Inkaar, co-starring Arjun Rampal, sexual harassment at workplace has been shown. The actress added, “When I did that film, I didn’t really know what it meant. But over a period of time, the issues (shown in the film) have come to the light lately. Inkaar was an honest film. It focused upon the fact that you can’t stop being a woman, just because you want to be as strong as a man. That thought was so beautiful.”
The actress is quite supportive of woman empowerment. She also opened up on woman safety, and added, “Women, I think are going through a lot in this country, and the figures don’t lie. I think a progressive society is the one in which women feel safe. So, before we call ourselves a progressive country, we must fulfil the most basic thing which is to keep women protected and make them feel safe when they step out.”
The month of April is considered Sexual Assault Awareness Month as an annual campaign to raise public awareness about sexual assault. The aim of this campaign is to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence.
