What Shabana said<\/h2>\n

Shabana said, \u201cItni chid aati hain na mujhe\u2026 itni chid aati hain. Kyuki koi samajh hi nahi hain ki feminist ka matlab kya hain. They are still associating with the bra-burning woman, they don’t know anything (I get very irritated. There is no understanding about what it means). I will tell an interesting incident when I was in America and I was ironing Javed [Akhtar]’s Kurta, and this woman said, \u2018You call yourself a feminist and you are ironing husband\u2019s kurta?’ When I said what has this got to do with feminism then she said, \u2018Meaning? Will he iron your sari?\u2019 I said, \u2018I will never let him do that!\u2019 Iski understanding bahot hi weak, kamzor hain. Kya matlab ki \u2018I am not a feminist\u2019? Have you even thought about it? There is no clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shabana on feminism<\/h3>\n

When Shabana was asked what according to her is feminism, she said, \u201cEverything. The whole gaze in the way which you view the world is different. Men and women are different. Not better, not worse. That difference needs to be celebrated. Equal but different. For far too long, the world has solutions to all problems from the male point of view. So we have to say that we have to be included in that dialogue and force our way\u2026 You have to have your place at the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shabana recently won the Excellence in Cinema award at the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, which was presented to her by Waheeda Rehman. The actor was last seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, for which she won Filmfare and IIFA awards.<\/p>\n
