Vidya Balan Pens Down An Inspiring Note On International Women’s Day

In a world where women are not always treated equally as men and are subjected to heinous crimes, the International Women’s Day, which is celebrated on 8th March is a day dedicated to women rights. Though we do not need a specific day to give them the immense respect they deserve, we take the moment to laud the outstanding achievements of these courageous souls and their ability to emerge victoriously despite being oppressed.

And writing a beautiful post on the occasion, Bollywood actress Vidya Balan has reached out to all the women in this world. Taking to Instagram, Vidya, who is usually spot on with her statements, asked all the ladies in this world to just be who they are. As a piece of advice, she urged them not to strive for being the best version of themselves but to love their body and soul for however they look.
