Deepika bats for gender equality in new video
Mumbai, Mar 29 (IBNS): Actress Deepika Padukone has raised her voice for equality for females in all spheres of life.
She along with 98 other women have featured in a video, directed by Homi Adjania of 'Cocktail' and 'Finding Fanny' fame.
The two-minute-34-second video, called 'My Choice' is produced by by Dinesh Vijan.
The black-and-white video shows the actress calling for change in the "caged" mindset of men about women.
The video asks men to stop judging a woman for their choices of clothes, profession and life.
"It is my choice to live life the way I want, to wear clothes I like, to decide how I want my body to be, when I want to get married or if I ever want to walk down the aisle, to decide if I want to be straight or a lesbian...," Deepika said in the video.
All the 99 women are dressed in black attires.
The clip is a part of the Vogue's initiative on women's empowerment.
