My Choice, directed by Homi Adjania, calls for a change in the mindset of men about women and asks them to stop judging women for their choices of clothes, profession and life. The film shows Deepika talking about the freedom of choice that women must have regarding multiple issues, including having the choice to indulge in sex before marriage or out of marriage or not having sex at all.

Actress Sonakshi Sinha does not agree with Deepika Padukone’s ideas about choice of freedom in “My Choice“, a short film aimed at spreading awareness about women empowerment.

“I BELIEVE EMPOWERMENT SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE WOMEN WHO ACTUALLY NEED IT,” SAID SONAKSHI

She feels it needs to “reach out to people who actually need it, like the deep ends of this country”.

Regarding this Sonakshi Sinha response is as follows:

“I haven’t watched the video but I know about the thought behind it that is women empowerment… it comes from a good space but honestly I believe empowerment should be given to those women who need it, far away from where we are right now.”

“Women empowerment is not always about the kind of clothes you wear, not about who you want to have sex with or stuff like that. It’s about employment, strength,” Sonakshi said here on Tuesday

“I also feel that it is not always about who you want to have sex with and the kind of clothes you wear. It is about employment, strength and stuff like that. So it is a good initiative but I think it needs to reach out to people who actually need it, the deep ends of society,” Sonakshi, 27, said.

“It’s a very good initiative. It’s coming from a good space, but honestly I believe empowerment should be given to the women who actually need it, who are kind of far away from where we are right now. We have been bred and brought up with luxury,” she added.

“It is my choice to marry or not to marry… It is my choice to have sex before marriage or have sex outside the marriage” have drawn criticism. Meanwhile, My Choice is getting mixed response on social media. While some people have praised Deepika’s efforts, some have trashed it like SOnakshi Sinha.
