Jodhpur/Mumbai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is shooting for Thugs of Hindostan at the historic Mehrangarh Fort here, today said that it was heartening to see women working on the sets of a film, a place where they were “nonexistent” at a time.
“… The entire controls barring a few, are managed by the ladies… Efficient, demanding, disciplined, screaming their heads off to inefficiency, but getting it done… So so remarkable…
“… And such a joy to see the ladies on set… a region where they were nonexistent in the years gone by… In my time there were just 2 on shoots… The leading lady and her mother… That’s it…” Bachchan wrote.

The actor said the times are changing fast as women are coming forward to claim workplaces, which is their right.
“… A majority management by young professionals, running the show with panache and bearing… The industry changeth… As does the world and its opinions on women… There’s is a voice that now resounds about for their rightful place… For equality… For recognition… And for respect.”
Bollywood celebrities such as Anushka Sharma, Twinkle Khanna, Juhi Chawla, Kajol and Varun Dhawan also took to social media to wish their fans on International Women’s Day.
Anushka urged the women to keep fighting for their rights and not surrender to adversities.
“Every step makes a difference when you believe in something strongly and do your bit. It might not show immediately but the results to create a ripple and an impact. To all the women fighting for what they believe in, don’t give up! Happy #WomensDay.”

Happy #womensday! I’m so lucky to be surrounded by amazing women, not just at home, but at work too. They’ve given me a deeper understanding of how things should be done… emotionally, professionally, personally! I am a better man because of them, Sidharth tweeted.
