@ Divashni - that was really cute.
Had to give my 2 cents on Deepika.
I was MAD when I saw this video. I don't understand why there is a need to espouse rights when she so obviously needs a lesson on being Responsibility.
I saw that and resolved that I shall NEVER EVER watch a movie she features in. I don't care and don't know what these people are in private life. But if you are going to get eye balls then it is important to at least be sensible. Don't say lines that you don't understand outside of of the movie screen.
Statements like this trivialise the efforts of so many who fight hard in real life! Getting all career minded young women tainted with the same label of being recklessly ambitious

Have you ladies read this poem by Maya Angelou? DO give it a read if you find the time...
Phenomenal Woman - BY Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms,
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them,
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing,
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Luv reading thm tho I rarely gt involvd. Couldn't stop myself whn I saw the mentn abt Deepika's "My Choice" vid...u all covrd a lot of my views bt its sumthing tht left me so seriously flabbergasted whn I 1st saw it. Honestly tho I can't say I'm surprisd by Deepika pulling such a stunt 4 publicity. I remember watching hr on an episode of Satyamev Jayate nd she appeared so clueless!!! Aamir askd hr abt hr thoughts on how cinema plays a role in shaping public percptns in India. Her response was abs ridiculous. This is essntlly wht she said: "I've heard b4 tht films hv an impact on our society bt I nevr took it so seriously until rt now...now tht we're sittng here discussng it so seriously. Bt mayb in the future I will keep this in the back of my mind." Nd tht's all she said during the entire 15 min segment!!! I mean y ws she evn calld there if those r the 2 scriptd sentences she hd 2 say which basically jst restatd the ques tht she ws askd. Whts evn more amazing is the rnd of applause tht was shown 4 hr response...totl cut nd paste by the editrs rt there. Not tht Parineeti nd Kangana who wer there w/ hr made any sweeping nd bold statemnts eithr bt at least they made more of an effrt 2 nt look completely foolish like Deepika.
