30 Mar, 2015

In the video the ‘Cocktail’ actress called for a change in the mindsets of men regarding women and asked them to stop judging their choice in clothes, their profession and their lives.

According to Indian media reports Deepika said in the video, “It is my choice to live life the way I want, to wear clothes I like, to decide how I want my body to be, when I want to get married or if I ever want to walk down the aisle, to decide if I want to be straight or a lesbian”.

Other known faces in the video are Farhan Akhtar’s wife Adhuna and sister Zoya Akhtar and Homi’s designer wife Anaita. All the 99 women are dressed in black attires, Indian media reported.

The black and white two-minute-34-second video is directed by Homi Adjania, with whom Deepika worked in ‘Cocktail’ and ‘Finding Fanny’. It is produced by Dinesh Vijan.

Recently, director Shoojit Sircar unveiled the official trailer of Deepika’s upcoming movie ‘Piku’ in the presence of the entire star cast, including mega star Deepika Padukone, Irrfan Khan and Amitabh Bachchan and is set to hit theatres on May 8.
