What Sony SAB artists tell about International Women's Day 

By Jyothi Venkatesh

Smita Bansal (Ammi in Aladdin: Naam Toh Suna Hoga)

For me, every day is a Women’s Day as I don’t believe in celebrating only one day for women who are so powerful and strong. However, it is somehow good that this day is celebrated as at least then people take notice of what women do and they thank and appreciate them for that. In my view, though, Women’s Day is a strong day in itself when a message is sent out that women needs to be celebrated.Women are one of the pillars of the society and people should stop pulling them down. Also, it is often observed that a woman is a woman’s enemy; they are concerned about what the other woman is doing. Rather I think, women should start recognizing their own strengths and everyone can then help empower each other.

Niya Sharma (Sharda in Tenali Rama)

I am the only child to my parents and have been raised in such a manner that I am both a daughter as well as a son to them. I have the ideology that a man and a woman are equal and hence, don’t celebrate one single day for women. According to me, every day can be Women’s Day as women actually are very strong. I get this feeling seeing my mother who is an extremely strong woman and does so much for us.So, my message to everyone this Women’s Day is that start respecting women. They should not be judged on the basis of what they wear, how they behave or the words they speak. They should be appreciated for who they are.

Akshita Mudgal (Gayatri in Bhakharwadi)

I believe Women’s day is an opportunity to show some appreciation towards the women you love or who play an important role in your life. Especially our mothers do a lot for us and the entire house. They deserves utmost love and appreciation. I always celebrate my Women’s Day with my mom. I and my sister try to give complete rest to our mom that day as she is always running around doing something or the other for everyone.So, this Women’s Day, I would request everyone to do something special for any woman in their life, whether it is their mother, sister, friend or someone else. Show your respect towards them and make them feel how important role they play in your life.

Shivani Badoni (Funty in Baavle Utaavle) 

The love, joy and the warmth that a woman brings in your life is unexplainable and it feels great that we have a special day to celebrate women, who in fact should be celebrated every day. I am extremely close to my mom and usually celebrate his day with her by going out for a movie and lunch, spending some quality time with her. However, since this time I am in Mumbai and she is in Dehradun, I am missing her a lot.My request to everyone is to celebrate each and every woman in their life for all the happiness they bring into their lives, which they might not realize themselves. Also, I would request every female to celebrate themselves and other women around by complimenting them and making them feel happy.
