Director Homi Adajania is known for his strong statements about the rights of women in short video. He says that he really admires actress Deepika for her attitude and kind-heartedness.
Adajania said, “The film has been visually represented by moving portraits of 99 women in black and white who express themselves spontaneously to the lines narrated by Deepika”.
He said: “Deepika is totally in the film...I truly admire Deepika for the person she is.”
He added, “I know the trials and tribulations she has faced as a single woman. She lives by her own rules, is dedicated to her craft and fights against the odds in a male-dominated industry to get and stay where she has."
He stated, “No amount is ever enough for creating awareness on women’s empowerment. In India, gross gender inequality has been around for so long that change has to begin with awareness and acceptance of the fact that it exists and that there is something very wrong about it. History has dictated a place for a man and a woman and what each has to do. But that’s history and I don’t find this necessary today”.
He told, “It is incredibly backward to live in a world where gender discrimination exists! Hopefully one day we will live in a world where discrimination based on gender will not exist and we will look back wondering what were people thinking… if they were at all”.
He concluded, “Women’s empowerment, I think, is an issue which needs to have longevity and this is where I appreciate Vogue’s initiative -- that it is an ongoing process. It’s not that there is a beginning and an end to it. Their plan is to sustain something powerful that they have started and keep reinventing every quarter as to how and what new they are going to bring. It’s a commendable effort”.
