Gul Panag

Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], April 7 : Actor Gul Panag talked about women empowerment and how women together as a collective can empower each other and their health at an event in Dehradun.Gul Panag attended the FICCI event on Saturday.Speaking to ANI, "Women empowerment starts with uniting women. When I am with women, I feel that I have my own empowerment. Because I believe that one woman can inspire and encourage another woman. And I consider myself very fortunate that I am here. I was invited, and I was given a chance to speak. The challenges that women are facing are universal. It should be talked about. I believe it will make these challenges easy."During the event, addressing the audience, she said, "In the environment and society where we are conditioned to put everybody before us, we typically put ourselves last. Now what that does is compromise our ability to do the very job that's been thrust on our shoulders. Take care of the family; take care of the home. And whatever it may be--whether you're a stay-at-home mother or a working mother--whatever you do, you have a disproportionate share of responsibility on your shoulders. And those shoulders need to be strong."Gul Panag added, "And you know, when you board an aircraft,'sabse pehle wo kya bolte hain? Sabse pehle apna mask pehlo'. I'm 45 right now, and I think prioritising my health has had a very big role to play in my being able to do all that I'm able to do. If we are not strong, if we are not capable, then we will not be able to do all the things that are on our wish list, including but not limited to taking care of our children and our ageing parents. It's all a responsibility that falls on our shoulders. And I think taking care of your health is rocket science. We must eat healthy. We know what that is all about."Gul Panag is known for her versatility, she has made a mark in the entertainment industry as well as in various other fields.Gul started her journey in the world of glamour by winning the Miss India title in 1999.

The story comes with a lot of spunk yet is an everyday story that the audiences will relate to and have a good laugh. The characters are all quirky and freshly written, with various layers to them which add the right spice to the story. I'm playing a lawyer for the first time, and my character Zaina Mistry is the one who balances out the eccentricities of the other characters in the show. She is the voice of reason, much like how I am in real life as well. The show brings a bunch of talented artists under a roof which has made the journey of filming incredible. I am looking forward to its launch on Sony LIV and the audience's reaction to it."'Good Bad Girl' is helmed by Abhishek Sengupta and produced by Vikas Bahl and Anurag Shrivastava.
