Hot drinks and self defence

ACTRESSES Taapsee Pannu and Malaika Arora, on International Women’s Day, have encouraged women to be strong and take self-defence classes to protect themselves and feel empowered.

Taapsee, who has featured in strong roles in films like Pink and Naam Shabana, is associated with #Standstrong – Women’s Horlicks latest digital campaign to encourage women to take up self-defence. Taapsee said: “Women are breaking out from boundaries today and while they do that their bodies need to keep up. With the right nutritional support offered by Women’s Horlicks we all can equip our bodies with the physical strength to be able to take care of ourselves. I have always inspired women to take up self-defence which can instil confidence in women to tackle any situation should it arise, when one’s security is being threatened.

“I think a change always starts with small steps and through the #Standstrong campaign, I urge all women to empower themselves with selfdefence for a stronger you.”
