On International Women's Day 2018, the 75-year-old actor wrote: "Such a joy to see the ladies on set, a region where they were nonexistent in the years gone by.

As of today, on the sets of Thugs of Hindostan, which is backed by Yash Raj Films, several women are a part of the film's unit. "The entire controls barring a few, are managed by the ladies.

There's is a voice that now resounds about for their rightful place, for equality, for recognition and for respect. We live in good times... For the times they are a changing and changing well and fast."
