Celina Jaitly recently slammed a troll who said she should only wear bikinis and not talk about important things like international affairs. She replied with a video on social media, saying everyone should be allowed to talk about serious topics, no matter what they wear. Reflecting on the same, the actress shared that it is important to stand up for yourself and help others if possible.
Celina told Hindustan Times, “Sometimes it’s important to stand up for yourself and if you can stand up through that process for many others it is indeed an added bonus. I specifically did it as a comedy reel. I am an actor and I like to use that power within to reach out with occasional lessons of importance to my circle of impact.” She also states that artists and storytellers are really important nowadays because of all the fighting and problems happening. She thinks their work helps people feel more connected to the world, understand their emotions better, and make firm decisions about their actions.
Jaitly points out the ongoing struggles women face in today’s society, The 42-year-old emphasizes that women are still viewed as outsiders in a predominantly male society. She mentions, “We’re constantly required to justify our views and face criticism for all our actions.” Additionally, she remarks on the negative attitudes towards independent women, which often lead to harmful behavior like bullying and name-calling. She suggests that sometimes it’s necessary to overlook insignificant criticisms, while other times, it’s important to address them directly. Addressing the stereotype often imposed on actresses, Jaitly questions,“Why do you think actresses are stereotyped by such people?” How can one stay away from this negativity?”
She says that women have to defend themselves and are judged for everything they do, no matter how much they achieve.
