Actor Ranbir Kapoor has said the notion of masculinity has to be changed to empower women.
The actor said this while interacting with the media along with Deepika Padukone, Shabana Azmi and Manish Malhotra.
Kapoor and Padukone walked the ramp for designer Manish Malhotra, in an event organised by Shabana Azmi’s Mijwan Welfare Society, a charitable organisation that aims to empower women in India through education.
When asked about his idea of empowering the women of the country and securing equal rights for them, Kapoor said: “I think firstly, we have to change the notion of masculinity. I think the idea which we have in our mind about masculinity... if we could change the feeling of entitlement then that’s the big thing,” he said.
“Once we do that, we should provide a platform to encourage citizen of our country, especially to girls and the women. It will then be a great start...” Kapoor added.
Kapoor will be seen next in the biopic of actor Sanjay Dutt titled Sanju, directed by Raj Kumar Hirani, and in Brahmastra, which is directed by Ayan Mukherji.
