National Award-winning actress Pallavi Joshi says crusaders for women empowerment sometimes forget to talk about the real issues. "In an era of #MeToo and social media, crusaders who appear as torch bearers of women empowerment somehow forget the real issues," Pallavi said in a statement.

"Urban India is a miniscule part of India and where women empowerment is truly imperative, social media unfortunately has not yet trickled down to," she added. Pallavi hosts television show "Bharat Ki Baat", which showcases a positive narrative of Indians. The show will celebrate International Women's Day with episodes on women empowerment over the weekend.
