Shilpa Shetty: ‘नारी शक्ति। Regardless of which culture, region, country, or era we belong to; women have always demonstrated immense strength and unspeakable volumes of grit.
‘Here’s to every woman who has fought stigma, trauma, abuse, and other hurdles to achieve their dreams.
‘Now, with technology at our disposal, let’s work together to empower women and other marginalised groups, who are still fighting their battles for a better life. That would truly make it a ‘Happy’ Women’s Day!’

Malaika Arora asks, ‘Girls, how are y’all being pampered this Women’s Day? A day to reflect on how far we’ve come. A day to start the fight against new battles. A day to #EmbraceEquity.
‘But in between all this, let’s not forget to stretch a bit, burn a few calories, and look the best version of ourselves.’
