Bollywood actress Gul Panag dons numerous hats, from being an actor to an avid rider, a certified pilot, a mother and a wife. Although she is famous, she underplays the tag of being a role model.
"It is important to take your role as a role model seriously. When I say role model it is not just me because I am a public figure. I would say each one of us is a role model because, given the inequity in India with regards to access to opportunity for women, just the ability to choose what you do in your day is something women don't have access to," Gul revealed to a media source.
She labels each woman a role model. "Each woman who is part of our ecosystem, they are all role models for women who don't even have the opportunity to decide what they would want to do in the next minute. So, we all carry on our shoulders the incredible responsibility," further added Gul.
She further revealed, "Sometimes, walking a difficult
path is an option we must exercise because in walking that path we make it
easier for somebody else to go through it. I think the responsibility of being
a role model and walking the path less trodden stay on one's shoulders, to make
it easier for someone else to follow. Being a pioneer is a big responsibility
and one must take the plunge if they have the opportunity.”
