Mumbai: “I am not a feminist”, says Bollywood star Parineeti Chopra. The actress, who is a brand ambassador for Haryana’s “Beti Bachao Beti Padao” campaign, also said that she is an advocate for gender equality.
The pretty damsel said, “I do feel proud of my gender, of being a woman. I do speak against gender inequality. I am the brand ambassador for Haryana’s ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padao’ campaign. And I think it is very important for me personally to strive for equality, especially the industry that I come from.”
“Now, I understand and accept that anything that I do, could and I hope should inspire young girls. Now, I am very particular about what I say or do. If that makes me half a feminist, then that’s okay. I want girls to be treated the way men are. Somewhere we lack that in our country. So, I do want to be a role model but not a feminist”, added Parineeti.
Parineeti said that she would like to be seen as a role model but not as a feminist. The actress said that she is very often confused to be feminist but she is not and as a part of Bollywood, she feels stronger and more reprehensible.
