Mumbai, March 8
On Women's Day, actor Ajay Devgn paid a heartfelt tribute to the important women in his life.
Sharing beautiful pictures, he affectionately called his wife Kajol, daughter Nysa, sister Neelam, mother Veena, mother-in-law Tanuja, and sister-in-law Tanisha his "shernis."
"This singham is nothing without his shernis," he captioned the post.
Besides, Ajay, several celebrities extended greetings on Women's Day.
Actor Anupam Kher, while speaking to ANI, highlighted the invaluable role women play in shaping families, communities and society at large.
"On International Women's Day, my heartfelt salute to all the women of the world. I truly believe that whoever has the power to give birth to another life is the greatest, and that is a woman," Kher told ANI.
Actor-politician Hema Malini, in a social media post, wrote, "Reaching out to all women - each remarkable in her own way, all capable multitaskers, homemakers, entrepreneurs, seasoned business women who have mastered the art of work-life balance - a shout out to all of you, wherever you are! Remember, you are a unique, blessed creation of God. Just learn to enjoy life on your own terms!"

While the sentiment is nice, Women's Day should be about more than just celebrity posts. What about the real issues faced by women in rural India or the workplace? Let's move beyond symbolic gestures.
I appreciate Hema Malini's message the most. "Enjoy life on your own terms" – that's a powerful reminder for women everywhere, whether in Mumbai or Melbourne. Balance is key.
Anupam Kher's words hit home. In every Indian family, the mother is truly the pillar. My amma sacrificed so much for us. This day is for her and all the unsung heroes.
Love the 'sherni' nickname! Kajol and Nysa look gorgeous. It's nice when our Bollywood stars use their platform to show family values. But true equality in the film industry itself is still a long way to go, no?
Interesting to see the cultural emphasis on women as mothers and family pillars. In the West, the focus today is often more on individual achievement and breaking glass ceilings. Both perspectives are valuable.
