International Women’s Day! Gul Panag, Parul Gulati and Mehek Thakur come together for a satire show – India’s Next Top Role Model

For eons, women have tried to break the system whilst fighting for an equal footing in all walks of life. Behind all the glitz and glamour there are a bunch of unsung sheroes who have worked to shatter the glass ceiling across generations thus paving the way for the future generation. With the #MeToo movement giving women across all platforms around the world a bigger and powerful voice than ever before, now is the time for women not like ever before. The world is ready to hear stories of women breaking through clichés and making a mark in their own right. Gul Panag, Parul Gulati, and Mehek Thakur come together for a short video to mark  International Women’s Day for their global campaign ”Comedy for Equality”. The Satire titled “India’s Next Top Role Model” tackles the issues of gender equality and also puts a spotlight on our unsung women warriors who have changed the dynamic of the system.

This year, on the occasion of International Women’s Day, Girliyapa – the women-centric channel from the house of The Viral Fever (TVF) has collaborated with the global champion for gender equality, UN Women. The video ‘India’s Next Top Role Model‘ brings forth stories of 3 Sheroes – Captain Prem Mathur (Gul Panag) who went on to be become India’s first female pilot, Priya Jhingan (Parul Gulati) – the first woman to become an Indian army cadet and Rukhmanibai Raut (Mehek Thakur) who raised the age of consent for women across India. This video shares the stories everyone needs to hear and cherish.

On being a part of this short video, Gul Panag said “I genuinely believe that women achievers like Rukhmabai, Prem Mathur and Priya Jhingan can rouse thousands of other women in different parts of the nation to challenge stereotypes and chase their dreams, without giving a second thought of what society will think of them. I am thrilled to be a part of Girliyapa’s ode which aims to provide an insight on the incredible journey of these powerful women.” For more such stories on Women’s Day, stay tuned to CineBlitz!
