Sara Ali Khan shared a post on her Instagram story and demanded "justice for women". Veteran actor and Alia Bhatt's mother Soni Razdan expressed her anger on social media.
She wrote, "I'm so tired of this hogwash of hearing these words come out from mouths again and again about "how we must protect women" and give "them their rights". Women wouldn't need protecting if men learned that they are not there to be abused. Women have rights they were born with them, who is anyone to give "the right that is already theirs" meanwhile stop talking and start acting on your promises.
Make India safe for women." View this post on Instagram A post shared by S.
