Fashion diva Sonam Kapoor's newest movie Veere Di Wedding
has received enthusiastic response at the box-office. The movie also stars
Kareena Kapoor Khan, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania in lead roles. The lead
actors in numerous media chat told that Veere Di Wedding isn't about feminism
and women empowerment.
After her marriage with Anand Ahuja, Sonam changed her
surname from Kapoor to Ahuja on her social media pages and some people started
questioning her on feminism.
In a media chat with a daily, Sonam revealed, "As
actors, in the media and in public, we are only defending ourselves. I am used
to it now. Whether you are working hard? Whether you are a feminist or not?
Whether you are getting married or not? Whether you are having a child or not?
We keep defending ourselves. When can there be a point where there is
acceptance? And that’s what being an equal and a feminist means, that you
accept the other person for who they are and giving them the choice to do
whatever they want to do."
She further added, "That is the whole idea of it. That
is progressive thinking which is basically not judging anyone. I have written
two essays on feminism. I will forward it to everybody and they can read it on
my profile of what actually feminism means."
Sonam opened up on changing her surname after her wedding
and the reactions she received. Sonam Kapoor told, "First of all,
someone’s telling me, ‘Sonam, you have changed your last name and so, you are
not a feminist.’ Who are you to tell me who I am and who I am not? That’s
pretty ridiculous. Labels should not exist."
