Asha Bhosle
Veteran singer Asha Bhosle is glad to see women coming out in open to talk about issues and fight against injustice.
When asked about her take on current scenario where women are standing up against injustice towards them in the society, she said, "It's a positive step and women should express their issues and should fight for their justice otherwise people who are exploiting women will get an encouragement so it's really good that women are coming out in the open to talk about issues."
She added that she pursued her singing career while taking care of her family. "Women are being exploited from many decades. Earlier, people used to have a perception that they should spend their entire life in kitchen and take care of their family and children. I think women should come out of that, the way I came out of it. I took care of my house, family and children but at the same time, I pursued my singing career," said the veteran singer.
