I love this topic and I would really be happy to talk and answer certain questions about it

Thank you so much, Manalika, for giving us your precious time. So let's start our Q and A session with one question, which is what is feminism, according to you? And I totally believe everyone can have different perspectives regarding the word feminism. So I would love to hear your answer regarding the same

We get our pads in, wrapped in newspapers or like, in a black bag, which clearly indicates that we are not das free as we want to be. So feminism, according to me, means equality. And that does not mean that I am saying that a man got his position. So I'm sad that I should have gotten this position. I am saying that if a man has done something and if I have done the same thing, we both should be considered for a particular position

@Manalika what actions of a guys made you think like he is feminist or against feminist?

Are you planning to staying at home? There are certain questions come up to actress when she got married, but it doesn't come to an actor. So a very nice example that you have portrayed. I really appreciate you for that and even a plus point for that example. So let's just take this interview further. And here's a second question I would like to ask. Okay? What actions of a guy made you think like he's a feminist or against feminist?

On the other hand, if there's a guy who is pseudofeminist, okay, who just think that feminism is only about demeaning the other gender, who just nags at me, who just say that, oh, you women only think about yourself. By taking this term feminism, you're just kind of pouncing on us

And if he's showing opposite of it, he's being told to you, she's not understanding what is the meaning of equality, then, yeah, he's not a feminist, according to me. So really flashpoint to you for your answer. You have to treat it very well. So another question of mine is, what do you think about how female friends can play can play a supportive role in feminism? And do tell us about your bond with your female friends that you have

Yes. Good guns. First of all, thank you so much for this kind words. And secondly, I think my friends or even your friends or even every other women out there can play a major role while supporting feminism is to giving their best and putting the step forward. Let's just go back to time, okay? For example, let's just take care of an example. Your nanny might have said to your mother that behaved like a woman, don't act like a man

Cleaning skills et cetera rather than this if mother can taught her daughter to be more independent then this could be better you really can't imagine how it can change the world out there and how it can bring the feminism in a very good picture. So glad to hear from you. And the last but not least any special message you want to leave for the people here who are going to listen to any session so please just leave it

I've also seen a lot of job interviews where a girl and a boy has equal potential, but they'll definitely most probably prefer a guy because they know that the women will get married in some time, and then she'll have a baby and this and that. I have seen a lot of beautiful videos where they show this kind of misconception that after a woman gets married, her life is completed. She does not have to do anything else

Hi me Manalika. It's been an amazing to listen from you. Actually may appreciate everything really well the examples you have given, the way you try to explain in a very Lehman's lehman language that everyone should understand what it is about. So thank you so much Manalika for coming here and giving me a patience time. Would love to invite you back soon. So pretty glad about the experience. Pretty glad about this interview. So thank you so much
