In a recent interview, renowned actress Neena Gupta expressed her concern over the safety of women in India. She strongly condemned the tragic incident of a postgraduate trainee doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at a government hospital in Kolkata last week. Gupta believes that it is not enough to just condemn such acts, but it is crucial to come up with practical solutions to ensure the safety of women.
The issue of women's safety has been on Gupta's mind for the past few days. She believes that in a vast country like India, every state, district, region, and village should have committees that work towards women's safety. These committees should conduct regular surveillance and report any potential risks or threats to women. Gupta also pointed out the risks faced by female teachers who have to travel long distances in the evenings or at night. Even the women who are involved in surveillance are not safe, which makes it difficult to find a quick solution to this problem.
When asked about the government's 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' scheme, which aims to address gender discrimination and empower women in the country, Gupta expressed her disappointment. She believes that after receiving education, the next logical step for a girl is to find employment. However, even in the workplace, women are not safe. Gupta questioned the effectiveness of the scheme and asked for a solution to ensure women's safety in all aspects of their lives.
Recently, Gupta won the National Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the 2022 Hindi film 'Uunchai'. This is her second award in the same category, with the first one being for her performance in 'Woh Chhokri' in 1994. Despite her success in the film industry, Gupta remains deeply concerned about the safety of women in India. She believes that it will take a long time for society to change its mindset and create a safe environment for women.
