Key Takeaways
Mumbai, Feb 13 (NationPress) Actress Rani Mukerji, enjoying the success of her latest film, "Mardaani 3", emphasized the vital role of social awareness in curbing crimes against women.
During the success press conference for "Mardaani 3", Rani was asked about the safety of women in India.
The question posed was, "Data indicates that most women in India face exploitation by individuals they know. Do you believe that increased awareness is necessary in this context?"
In response, Rani noted that it is often those we trust the most who betray us.
She advocated for comprehensive education on these crimes alongside severe penalties for perpetrators. Rani believes that imposing strict punishments will instill a sense of fear, prompting potential offenders to reconsider their actions against women.
She stated, "We need to be very vigilant because the danger isn't always external; it can be present within our homes. It’s crucial to stay alert and aware, as women often place their trust in those who ultimately betray it. This reality is heartbreaking. Therefore, it is essential to educate everyone about such issues and to address the mindset that allows these crimes to persist. Strict punishments are necessary; without them, these offenses will continue. Fear should reside in the hearts of those who contemplate committing such acts."
Directed by Abhiraj Minawala and produced by Aditya Chopra, "Mardaani 3" delves into the investigation of 93 young girls mysteriously disappearing within a three-month period.
The film, released on January 30, has achieved significant success at the box office.
