ARJUN KAPOOR : WOMEN EMPOWERMENT WILL HAPPEN WHEN MEN CHANGE MINDSET

Arjun Kapoor who once played a unique character of house husband in Kareena Kapoor starrer 'Ki & Ka' movie feels that change can only take place when the mindset of the men changes in the country. The actor shared some of his views on women empowerment at an event in Mumbai.

Arjun said, "The term 'women empowerment' has been in vogue from the last few years. A lot of people make use of it but they only use for the sake of it. Actually they don't put it to use. I always thought that empowerment of women will take place when the men of India will change their mindset. So, we thought that we need to honour those men this year who have somewhere made a difference to their partners, sisters or children's life."

"In India, we often say that girls are not capable of doing certain things. But if a husband can support his wife to achieve her dreams and goals, then I think he is a true hero."

Asked whether an actress should have a shelf life when it comes to working in films, he said. "Come on, I am speaking to you a day after my sister's (Sonam Kapoor) wedding. She is going to continue working in films and she has one film releasing ('Veere Di Wedding').

"Anushka (Sharma) has been working since the last six months after getting married. Kareena is a prime example after her pregnancy break. I feel making sure that women are safer and comfortable is necessary for actresses to grow and to be able to harness their skills."

Talking about the work front, Arjun will be seen in the upcoming movie Namastey England and Panipat.
