Need to be done women security by Aishwarya Rai
Former beauty queen and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan feels strongly about safety of women in the country and says a lot
needs to be done to make them feel secure.
The 39-year-old actress, also a mother of a one-year-old
girl, says she is angry because a lot is being said but very little action is
taken to rectify the situation.
"I don't feel fear, rather there is a lot of anger and
I don't hesitate to say this. Many of us are privileged to have a lot of
assurance about our safety but most of the women in our country do not have
that.
"A lot is being said but a lot more needs to be done
about it. There should be definite laws for offenders. They should be punished
immediately. That is when we will see the change in the society," says
Aishwarya, who was in the capital today to attend the second edition of Zindagi
Live Awards.
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, cricketer Gautam
Gambhir and Union minister Farooq Abdullah also attended the ceremony, which
felicitated eight women who challenged social stigmas.
Dressed in a blue and gold anarkali suit, the
"Devdas" star said she is glad that people area now talking about the
issue of women safety on public platforms after the horrendous Delhi rape
incident that rocked the nation last December.
"Such incidents still happen though. It also happened
the very next day of the Delhi gangrape. But I am glad that we are talking
about it. The incident has brought about a lot of attention and awareness but
the change needs to come immediately."
Aishwarya was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's
"Guzaarish" in 2010
