Definition of freedom is to have choices: Madhuri Dixit

Mumbai, March 7 (IANS) Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit Nene thinks that the celebration of Women’s Day, which falls on Tuesday, becomes important only when a woman has the privilege to make choices of every aspect of her life.

"To me, the definition of freedom is to have choices. A woman should have the right to choose every aspect in her life. She should not be discriminated being a woman and should get every opportunity to flourish as a human being.

“We can call ourselves ‘azaad' only when women can pursue whatever they dream," Madhuri said at the store launch of PNG Jewellers here.

"Change is very much needed. I believe today awareness is there and everybody is trying to make an effort to change the views towards many things, and even about women. Education is also very important. When more people will become educated, things will turn out to be better automatically,” the “Dedh Ishqiya” actress added.

The “Dhak Dhak” girl, who believes that both diamonds and gold are best friends of a woman, launched her jewellery line named 'Timeless by Madhuri Dixit' here.
