    I am a feminist and believe in equal rights, says Alia Bhatt.

    Tuesday, 13 December 2016 12:33

    With her incredible acting skills and having won several accolades for her performances, Alia Bhatt never fails to impress her fans.

    She took Bollywood by storm when she began her career in 2012 and has now revealed that she is in fact a feminist.

    “Yes, of course. A feminist is someone who believes in equal rights, and I, of course, believe in that, like many like-minded people. In a way, I should take that [statement] back, because even talking about it is like participating in it. So, I have actually changed that [the statement] around to say that I am a feminist and I do believe in equal rights. Whenever I’m asked about it, I will always speak about [feminism] in its true form, so that people can hear about it from time to time,” she said.

    The 23-year-old actor who previously landed herself in hot water on her ‘not being feminist’ remark, cleared the air during the interview.

    “What I meant to say [with my earlier statement] was that I am not actively participating [in strengthening women empowerment], which people do actively. So, I am not campaigning for or participating, which I would like to do as well whenever I get the opportunity. However, I do believe in it,” she said.
