At a recent awards ceremony Shahrukh Khan recently celebrated the power of women and paid tribute to women around the world. Shahrukh Khan has said women are the future and that "one needs to have women to have men", so they must be respected.
"It is important to talk about women who are making progress, taking our country forward and it is time to celebrate a little bit of brightness and positivity. You need to have women to have men"
Among those commemorated were Sara Pilot, for her contribution to charitable causes through her organisation Cequin; Pia Singh, for her work in the country’s luxury retail sector; Ritu Beri for being the pioneer of Indian fashion; and Olympic Bronze medallist Saina Nehwal for excellence in the field of sports.
Shahrukh Khan also proclaimed it’s time to celebrate the women "who are the leaders of India".
"It has been a few months now that we are witnessing all the news against women in India. Now everyone wants to come out and vehemently oppose the atrocity that happens with women in our country and around the globe."
"I think these are the negative feelings that are happening, so it becomes more important to have few sparks of brightness, beauty and goodness".
