22 Jun
Summary
- True empowerment comes from confidence and values, not smoking.
- Shilpa Shinde finds smoking by women uncomfortable and unmodern.
- Feminism means carrying values with confidence, not external appearance.
Actress Shilpa Shinde has offered her perspective on modern feminism, asserting that genuine empowerment originates from inner confidence, personal values, and self-awareness.
Shinde described herself as somewhat traditional, expressing discomfort with women smoking and associating it with a superficial notion of modernity. She clarified that she does not equate smoking, drinking, or specific attire with being bold or empowered.
"Boldness is different. Just because someone smokes, drinks, or wears certain clothes doesn't make them bold," Shilpa explained, stressing that external appearances are deceptive. She highlighted that a woman's values and self-knowledge are paramount.
Concluding her thoughts, Shinde suggested that feminism is about embodying one's values with confidence, distinguishing it from the misconception that external appearances equate to empowerment. Her recent project, 'Margao Files,' has received positive feedback.
