Actor Kinshuk Mahajan aka Pintoo
Singh of Zee TV's Afsar Bitiya, completely supports the DNA I Can Women's Half
Marathon and believes in the causes of
educating the girl child, spreading awareness about cervical cancer and safety of
women in public places. "One hears of so
many women being diagnosed with cancer and it can all be avoided through regular check-ups and early diagnosis...
DNA's marathon helps to spread the
word," says Kinshuk.
"Cervical cancer is posing a
serious threat to women and
there is a vaccine available
which can prevent it. When
clubbed with regular check-ups,
many women can protect themselves from cancer," he adds.
Also he feels that education of
girls is a very serious issue and
strongly advocates for 'all mothers in India to be educated, as they are the ones
who shape the life of their
children'. The actor is
equally vocal when it
comes to public safety
for women. "Having
grown up in
Delhi, I've
been a witness to so many instances of a woman's space being violated and it enrages me.
Laws need to be stricter and we
should not let anyone get away
with any kind of misbehaviour," adds the actor.
Actor Mitali Nag who plays
Krishna in Zee TV's Afsar
Bitiya too supports DNA initiative. "For me all these causes are very
close to my heart. Being a woman myself
I know their importance in our lives," she
says as she rattles of statistical figures. A
firm believer in the power of educating
girl child, Mitali adds, "A girl child's first
and most influential environment is her
family, and sons and daughters must be
equally valued and loved. Also, boys must
be raised with an understanding of
this equality and be prepared to
work together with women as
equal partners in all fields."
She adds, "The discrimination starts from the womb to
the tomb. We should work towards bringing pride and
dignity for every girl child
in India."
