Celebrities – Being a Woman!

Kalki Koechlin

“I talk about my freedom,

I talk about my rights,

Yet I am just a woman

Not an activist ready to fight.”

Madonna-“long hair ,don’t care”

“I like to showcase my hairy armpits,

I don’t like to wax

It’s not a crime that I committed,

I just like to relax.”

Vidya Balan-“I am happy with myself,but i think my weight had become a national issue.”

“Am not skinny or size zero,

I like my body- my curves,

I am happy the way I am,

Why does it bother your nerves.”

Malika Sherawat-“state of women in India is regressive and depressive.”

“My country ‘s respect is important,

But so is the respect for women there,

I cannot praise my nation blindly,

When my sisters live in fear.”

Beyonce-“Why do you you have to label yourself anything? I am just a woman and i love being a women.”

“Am I a product or an object?

That I need to have a label with me

I don’t need to be a ‘type of woman’

Being just a woman is what I love to be.”

Mindy Kaling

“My gender, my colour, my weight

Have nothing to do with my skill

My confidence comes from my talent

And it always will. “
