Kapoor further emphasises that stars have the ability to influence people at large, and must do their bit for society. "It's important for celebrities who are in a position of power to be able to raise funds for issues that need to be addressed. With power and fame comes responsibility, and I believe we should use that as a catalyst for social change."

Even while she acknowledges that the road ahead is long, Kapoor believes that the dialogue around women's issues has improved since the #MeToo movement hit India last year. "The #MeToo movement was a step in the right direction. It made society less misogynistic, entitled and changed how we think."
