- IANS

Actor Shibani Dandekar (right) is surprised that there is still conversati­ons around gender stereotypi­ng, and says that both genders should coexist in this world, regardless of the labels on them. “The fact that there is still a dialogue surroundin­g gender stereotypi­ng is astonishin­g to me! We need to get to a place as human beings where we see each other as just people and are able to co-exist in this world,” Shibani said in a statement. Shibani features in a new video which brings forth the stereotype­s of language that one indulges in while going about day to day life. Shibani says labels are good if used for empowermen­t. She added: “Labels are great they say a lot about who we are and where we come from but not what we are capable of...use them only to empower, not to divide.”
