I’m lucky to be surrounded by a set of strong women, and with this event, I hope to encourage that sisterhood.

SONAM K AHUJA, ACTOR

Sonam K Ahuja has always been one of those actors who has voiced her opinion on important issues. In her latest endeavour, the actor will be speaking at a women’s club in London, UK, on August 5. After marrying her long-time London-based boyfriend, Anand S Ahuja, Sonam has been shuttling between London and Mumbai.

A source close to the actor reveals, “Sonam is currently in London and when she got this opportunit­y to attend an evening in the company of inspiratio­nal women, she was more than happy to be part of it. She will be at the Jamavar Women’s Club where she will share her experience of being an actor. The evening will see inspiratio­nal women from an array of background­s to celebrate their diverse talents.”

Sonam, who is known to have a vociferous voice when it comes to talking about women empowermen­t says, “Strong women lift each other up. I’m lucky to be surrounded by a set of strong women, and with this event, I hope to encourage that sisterhood. Women, can make it big in a man’s world only if we motivate each other through empowering initiative­s like these which is a place to learn from our mistakes and celebrate our achievemen­ts”, she says.

In fact, Sonam adds that even as an actor, she has

always emphasised on taking up roles that make a difference. She says, “As an actor, my aim was always to make a difference. We need to be the change we want to see. We must talk about sociallyre­levant subjects and tackle issues that need to be addressed. I’m fortunate to be at a stage in my career where I can choose to be part of such films and I’m lucky that they have been received so well.”
