Taapsee urges women to fight back

After battling with the demons of society in Pink, Taapsee Pannu literally takes the fight to the street in her new film Naam Shabana, where she plays a secret service agent whose martial arts moves look good enough to rival those of Bruce Lee. Now Taapsee has a very important message to impart via a new video by Blush. Titled Taapsee Unblushed, the video asks women to learn self defence, and hit back. Through the video, the actress drives home an important point – “Don’t be afraid to defend yourself if the situation demands it.” The video shows many women who are seen apologising for wearing a short skirt, for having a drink, for walking home alone and everything else that they do for the fear of societal norms. Just then, Taapsee Pannu walks in and tells the audience that they aren’t apologising to society – they are apologising to themselves and their bodies. It’s time women learn to fight with these men, and start living their lives in their own way. This video is a wake-up call to all the young women in order to make them realise that self defence is no longer just an option, it’s a necessity, and a must-have skill for every woman. “It’s time for us to be responsible for our own safety and learn to protect ourselves. The video resonates with me and I am glad to be a part of something so powerful, something I hope every woman will understand and act upon,” said Tapsee.
