Kajal Aggarwal: ‘Multitasking Is Natural For Women’

Kajal talks to JFW!

Our February cover girl Kajal Aggarwal, in an exclusive interview with JFW, talked about how multitasking runs in the blood of women. She said, “Multitasking is in our blood and for women, it comes naturally, we handle so many things at the same time.” When asked about Bengaluru mass molestation incident, Kajal said that this is not the first time India is facing such an issue (remember the Nirbhaya incident?) and no one does anything about it. Just reading it on headlines alone and not doing anything further will never improve the situation.

The actress said, “Of course, we have safety measures and things like that, but why do we as women need to take safety measures? Why can’t it just be a normal scenario where if we want to step out, we don’t have to think twice? I think twice; my parents are worried when I go out at night, they keep calling me, checking on me; what time I’m getting home, or a male friend of mine drops me up to my doorstep if I’m out late at night. So I don’t understand why the need for this.”

“I don’t understand this: when people talk about women empowerment! I don’t understand the word “empowerment”. We were born powerful. It’s not like we need to be empowered or we need to empower ourselves. We are all born as one, right? It’s equality at birth. So when did things change? While growing up, why do things change? So, I’d like to call it women powerment not women empowerment,” she added.

“We should give our daughters the confidence to believe in themselves and to be able to accomplish whatever they like. In fact, I’m so grateful to my parents because that is exactly how they have brought me and my sister up,” the actress concluded.

Kajal Aggarwal is currently shooting for the untitled film of ‘Vijay 61’ directed by Atlee alongside Ilayathalapathy Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Nithya Menon. She was last seen in the movie ‘Khaidi no. 150’ alongside Chiranjeevi. The movie was a remake of the Tamil flick ‘Kaththi’ which starred Ilayathalapathy Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
