Deepika Padukone’s women empowerment video directed by Homi Adajania has kicked up a storm in social media. While many B-Town celebs were seen praising the initiative, the video’s content drew flak from a number of people in the virtual world.Like many of her colleagues from Bollywood, Sonakshi too spoke about the video, but had a different perspective.“It’s a very good initiative. It’s coming from a good space, but honestly I believe empowerment should be given to the women who actually need it, who are kind of far away from where we are right now. We have been bred and brought up with luxury,” she said.The video shows Deepika talking about the freedom of choice that women must have regarding multiple issues, including having the choice to indulge in sex before marriage or out of marriage or not having sex at all.“Women empowerment is not always about the kind of clothes you wear, not about who you want to have sex with or stuff like that. It’s about employment, strength,” Sonakshi said while addressing the media.
