At times you embark upon an issue with noble intent but along the way you lose the plot and crossover to the bizarre and ridiculous. The new age brigade of successful and self professed 'women of substance' are such species who are inadvertently, trivializing the issue of women empowerment by advocating a convoluted thought process and a debauched lifestyle.
An average indian woman is trapped in the moribund shackles of traditions and gets little leverage to break out of it. They are the ones who need to live their life their way which is the way of courage and compassion. They are in need of CHOICES...decent and intelligent ones enabling them to live their life with dignity and empowering them to resist undue domination and suppression by society (male n female included). The freedom they aspire for is freedom to pursue their education and career, freedom to realise their true potential, freedom to make sensible choices for themselves in personal and family matters, freedom to have their say and being heard without being ridiculed. This is what they require and not the choice of being gay or adulterer or whatever.
The likes of bollywood celebrities and pseudo journalists with their brand of aggressive and over the top notion of women power, sit in their ivory towers and seek to hog the limelight by riding on the women's lib bandwagon. Nothing could be more regressive than pitching yourself as a woman who fast tracks on the road to success, piggybacking not on genuine talent and hardwork but cheap titillation.. Pathetic effort Deepika, especially after that honest take on a taboo topic like depression.. You are defeating the very cause u are trying to champion..! Breaking some taboos make for convincing tableaux while breaking others only help in hard selling the tabloids. Your life, your choice...! To toast it or 'roast' it ...
