Actress Katrina Kaif believes movies can be
effective in putting out a message that can
bring about a change in society.
On being asked about her opinion on
having a movie based on 'educating girls' in
Bollywood, she said: "I don't believe you
need to have a movie to take this cause
further or spread the awareness about this
cause. There are many ways we can do it,
although with a movie on it, sometimes a
message comes across in a non-judgmental,
non-forceful or organic entertaining form.
"A movie is an amazing way to get the
message across. Someone making a movie
on this would be outstanding."
Katrina cited the example of "Secret
Superstar".
"That movie had that message. That was
definitely the message that got across. A
young talented girl who is being stopped
from fulfilling her dreams because the
society and world around her are not
allowing her to do that... So for me, there are
movies being made like that. You don't
necessarily need a movie just about the
classroom.
"This messaging coming into our movies is
a great way to take the message further in
our society. We all love movies and that is a
great way to get people's attention on the
topic."
The "Tiger Zinda Hai" actor said women
have to be more encouraging towards other
women for creating a healthy environment.
Besides education, what are the other
initiatives that need to be taken in order to
empower girls all around the world?
Katrina said: "I think a lot of steps have been
taken all over the world... Whether it
is equality at the workplace, whether it is
the attitude we have towards each other,
even for that matter the attitude that
women have towards each other.
"Lately, I have become aware of it myself.
Sometimes, I honestly feel that do we really
support our contemporaries? Do I really
support the women as much as I can, the
women who are around me and in my work
area?
"Sometimes the competitive mindset can
actually stop you from being cooperative
and encouraging towards others and I
myself have become more aware of that. Am
I lifting up the women around me? Am I
doing what I can to support them and
encourage them or to help them grow?".
Katrina said she is trying to encourage the
women around her to make them better
professionals.
"Rather than just seeing what they (women)
can do for me, I am trying to encourage
them to become better in their profession,
whatever it may be. So for me, that is very
important. A lot of things start with mindset.
We all can address our mindset and make
sure as to what are we doing for the
women around us."
On the work front, she is currently busy with
"Zero", starring Shah Rukh Khan and "Thugs
of Hindostan".
