New Delhi: Bollywood actress Kalki Koechlin believes that cinema is a 'dominant' but not the only medium to change the mind set of people about women.
"Cinema is a dominant but not the only means to change people's mind set about women," said Kalki.
Kalki, 32, who featured in Shonali Bose's Margarita, With a Straw, said, "There is no single source that can mobilise or change the thinking of an entire society. Various sources and different mediums appeal to different people just like Margarita, With a Straw would appeal to a certain section of society. And that is why we need to continue our struggle at all fronts and through all possible means."
"We need hundred different types of people doing hundred different types of things in the work that they do at different levels at different places (to bring about the change). There will not be one magic moment, one magic video that is going to change the whole mind set," she added.
According to Kalki, the definition of empowerment is also different.
"Just because I might be more free since I come from a different background doesn't mean I am completely free. I still have my own struggles that I have to face on a daily basis. You are fighting some kind of a battle in every way," she said. (Also Read: Kalki Koechlin Wrote a Play, Inspired by Woody Allen's Sense of Humour)
