Actors Arbaaz Khan and Rahul Bose urge men across the country to become a ‘Soldier for Women’

Actors Arbaaz Khan and Rahul Bose urge men across the country to become a ‘Soldier for Women’
As part of a unique initiative by Gillette, men from Bengaluru and across the country were invited to come forward to be a Soldier for Women. For decades now, men across the nation have exhibited the values of camaraderie, courage, integrity, discipline, respect and standing up for women and this movement aims at bringing likeminded men together and imbibe these values, and be a solider for women.

Actors Arbaaz Khan and Rahul Bose highlighted the soldier values that all men have within themselves and urged more and more men to embrace these values.

A panel discussion amongst Arbaaz Khan, Rahul Bose and Mandira Bedi highlighted how men, in various ways and different situations are not just bystanders but have stood up for women, whenever required.

Commenting on Gillette’s Soldier for Women initiative, Actor Arbaaz Khan said, “I am extremely proud to be a part of this unique initiative by Gillette and pledge to be a Soldier for Women. I believe that as a man, it is my moral responsibility to respect and stand up for women as they are the pride of our nation. I pledge to stand up for all women, not just my mother, sister, wife or friends because when we respect women, we respect our nation.”

Rahul Bose said, “It gives me immense joy to be raising awareness for a cause that is extremely close to my heart. I am proud to be a man who has always respected and stood up for women, not just family and friends but anyone who has reached out for help. Men and women alike need to come forth and create awareness about this one of its kind initiative that gives people the opportunity to become Soldiers of Women. I am a Soldier for Women and you can be one too.”
Celebrating the real life soldiers in her life, Mandira Bedi said, “I have always had good men around me, so I can confidently say that most men are good. I believe that this movement will invoke in all men the courage to respect and stand up for the right. I also urge women to recognize and celebrate the real life soldiers in their life who have relentlessly come forward to stand up for them. I salute the Soldiers for Women!”
