Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone and Vogue India released a creative video calling for women’s rights. Immediately after, the video caused fierce controversy with one side supporting and the other opposing.
The video project, titled My Choice, aims to build the belief that women have the right to choose their bodies, their relationships , and their futures, not anyone else. In the clip, Deepika Padukone gives a speech about the freedom women deserve, with 100 photos of women in Mumbai, India, appearing on the screen.
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone talks about feminism. Many people supported this video clip but there were also many who opposed and reacted strongly . Most of the criticism focused on the poem that Deepika Padukone read about extramarital sex . This beauty read: “My choice can be to marry or not to marry. I can have sex before marriage , outside marriage or not have sex. My choice can be temporary love or eternal love”.
DNA India’s Soumonty Kanungo writes on his blog that what the video is trying to convey is the idea of “My body, my mind, my choice”? But whose choice is it really? Urban women? Educated urban women? Educated and working urban women? Are there any other choices being made in this video? No! Thousands of rural and peri-urban women have no choice. The word choice is foreign to them because they only know how to listen and obey. They are given countless orders at every step of their lives and it is not a choice for them but for their families it is a good thing. Are they wrong in not thinking much about themselves? Are they wrong in compromising, ignoring their own choices to listen to their loved ones? This is a much more practical choice, much more so than clothes and sex.
