Malli­ka Sher­awat vis­it­ed the on­go­ing 65th Unit­ed Na­tions DPI/NGO Con­fer­ence re­cent­ly for a round­table dis­cus­sion on Fight­ing In­equal­i­ties � Eco­nom­ic, So­cial, Po­lit­i­cal and En­vi­ron­men­tal.

The 39-year-old Bol­ly­wood ac­tress' fo­cus was the hard­ships faced by In­di­an women. "Every minute we do noth­ing, there is a woman suf­fer­ing abuse in In­dia. They do not have the lux­u­ry of time," she said.

She cit­ed es­ti­mates by the Na­tion­al Crime Records Bu­reau (NCRB), which said that the in­ci­dence of child brides is very high and that a woman is raped some­where in In­dia every 20 min­utes.

This dis­cus­sion that Sher­awat par­tic­i­pat­ed in, brought civ­il so­ci­ety mem­bers from all over the world to talk about how in­equal­i­ties just like this can be stopped, and ul­ti­mate­ly re­versed through stronger laws and poli­cies.

"Strong im­ple­men­ta­tion of the le­gal frame­work, hav­ing a strong ju­di­cial sys­tem that deals with is­sues sen­si­tive to women is the need of the hour" she added.

We are hap­py to see so many of our favourite per­son­al­i­ties us­ing their celebri­ty to bring so­ci­etal change!

Tabloids went a lit­tle wild on Fri­day, re­port­ing that Ka­t­ri­na Kaif may have to wor­ry since it was dis­cov­ered that Ran­bir Kapoor was see­ing an­oth­er woman. Well, that part is true, but, it's not what you think. The hard­work­ing ac­tor flew to Chat­tis­garh with Tamasha di­rec­tor Imi­ti­az Ali to meet Tee­jan Bai, a Pad­vani dance ex­pert.

She is skilled at per­form­ing acts from the Ma­hab­hara­ta in a mu­si­cal form and the pair met with her pro­fes­sion­al­ly be­cause they planned to in­clude the dance form in the movie.

The en­tire thing was sup­posed to be a qui­et af­fair, but it was not long be­fore every­one knew about the vis­it.

"Ran­bir and Im­ti­az came to Tee­jan Bai's house re­cent­ly and the en­tire vil­lage was wait­ing out­side to get a glimpse of the two. Ra­bir and Im­ti­az then saw her per­for­mance and left by 2 pm. Ran­bir was warm and af­fec­tion­ate, he posed for cam­eras and signed au­to­graphs," said a source.

What a hard­work­ing young man!
