Sushmita Sen reacts to My Choice' video

April 7, 2015 Sukarna Mondal

Sushmita Sen, former beauty Queen and actress at a recent salon launch spoke about Deepika Padukone starrer My Choice' video.

The actress, having watched the video said, "Deepika looks stunning. In fact, all the women in the video look stunning. There are two things I would like to say. Women empowerment is absolutely about choice, but to exercise those choices you need to know your rights. Without knowing those rights one cannot make choices. We are equal. But the social structure in India doesn't recognize that. It needs to be worked upon. Educating people is very important."

Having said that, the actress continued saying, "When the video came out, everybody started exploding it with praise-worthy comments. The one people objected that video and people again started supporting the negative comments. They forgot their own thoughts and gave in with the flow. It shouldn't happen like that. Get up and have an opinion of your own. If you don't like...don't like it. But don't say I don't like it because they don't like it. That's not the way of doing it."

And don't let your drools for an actress cloud your judgement. It always goes both ways.

She has magic with her words. But the assumption that the criticism is coming from the same lot who praised the video and took a Uturn is quite faulty and undermining the right of those who don't agree with the video...

She worded it nicely, but I feel like a lot of people didn't jump on the bandwagon--they had their own opinions about the message of the video. Maybe their were different intrepretations and mostly everyone took offense to sex outside of marriage. I def don't think people jumped on to start hating on it.
From what I saw, before the video we were all excited and applauding Deepika for the words My Choice and after seeing how badly executed it was, we made our own choice to not associate feminism and female empowerment with it. Just sayin', I think if you remove Deepika and put in the most beloved actress ever on there like Meryl Streep...she would face the same backlash.
