'It's time for women to speak against injustice'

Straight talk

Actor Sonakshi Sinha says injustice faced by women has been ignored for long now and it’s time they raise their voice against it.

“We are used to keeping mum about injustice, be it in the office or public transport. We ignore the injustice faced by women,” she said.

“If you won’t speak up today, you will never be able to speak. You are stronger than you think you are. It is time to speak up,” Sonakshi said.

The 29-year-old ‘Lootera’ actor will soon be seen playing a tough, feisty girl in director A R Murugadoss’ ‘Akira’, which will hit theatres on September 2.

Sonakshi joins a the ranks of celebrities advocating the importance of raising voice against exploitation of any kind while lending support to MTV’s ‘Girls on Top’, where one of the protagonists faces sexism at work.
