Mumbai: Bollywood fashionista Sonam Kapoor, who is on cloud nine with “Neerja”, says that she doesn’t need to burn her bra to prove that she is a feminist. Recently, the actress is seen on the cover of Harper Bazar’s 7th Anniversary issue.
In an interview with the magazine, she said, “I’m the hardest on myself where my craft is concerned, but not when it comes to my looks. I have always been very comfortable with who I am.”
Sonam further added, “I don’t take it too seriously; I have fun with it. That’s why I take so many chances with fashion.” She said, “I’m the girliest girl but I’m a complete feminist. It doesn’t mean that I’m not wearing my dresses or my lipsticks, and I’m definitely not burning my bra. I don’t need to prove a point. It’s about equal opportunity, whether you’re man, woman, transgender. Own who you are and know your worth.”
“Films like Neerja and Piku aren’t the same as, say, Tanu Weds Manu or Khoobsurat or The Dirty Picture. More commercially driven films need to be made, where you push women into the mainstream. Women-centric shouldn’t be a genre. Why can’t we have women heroes?” said Sonam.
