Let this sink in. The men spotted #PriyankaReddy getting off her scooter. Punctured her tyre. Waited for her to get back. Abducted her. Gangraped her. Set her body on fire to destroy evidence. *All because she was a woman* Such monsters deserve more than mere capital punishment.

When I got a 90% in my ICSE some building aunties went to my school to crosscheck that my family and I weren't lying because they thought I was 'too well-groomed to be intelligent'. There is no way for women to win---you're always too fat, too thin, too pretty, too ugly. So, you

Sorry, @TheShilpaShetty but this is BS. I had my first child at 37. My second at 39. Both were normal uncomplicated pregnancies. Stop advocating this foolish notion that women can conceive only by a certain age. Our ovaries don’t have an expiration date. Only our mindset does.

It doesn’t matter whether the CBI finds Rhea guilty or not. There’s no way for her to win this. Even once she’s declared ‘not guilty’, the naysayers will say she destroyed evidence. Because ultimately the need to shame and shun women is stronger than logic, justice and fairness.

Where @smritiirani throws her own gender under the bus to support her vote bank politics, while *actually* saying that women shouldn't be allowed anywhere - temple, mosque, church, gurdwara, or a friend's home - while menstruating! Who needs misogyny when you have women like her?

I have right to pray,but not right to desecrate.I am nobody to speak on SC verdict as I'm a serving cabinet minster. Would you take sanitary napkins soaked in menstrual blood into a friend's home? So why would you take them into the house of God: Smriti Irani on #SabarimalaTemple

At 21 he was told he had two years to live. He lived till 76. Despite suffering from debilitating ALS and paralysis, he became one of the world's greatest scientists. RIP Stephen Hawking, you've shown us that our dreams are stronger than whatever obstacles life throws our way.

I just finished writing my third feature film screenplay (phew!) and the one advice I would share with all aspiring screenplay writers is to register everything––even your logline. My first feature film logline was stolen and made into a terrible film (because karma is real,

As a survivor, I know how much it takes to speak up about domestic violence from men you’re supposed to feel safe around. It doesn’t matter if you’re a powerful woman like #ShehlaRashid . The pain and struggle is real. Remember that before bringing your politics into this.

1) Many of you must have come across a video of my biological father making wild allegations against me and my mum & sis. To keep it short and straight, he's a wife-beater and an abusive, depraved man. We finally decided to act against him, and this stunt is a reaction to that.

Times Now and Republic have robbed people the dignity of truth, robbed women the dignity of life and - worse - robbed a young man the dignity of death. Shame on them for the lowest form of ‘journalism’ this country has ever seen. Are TRPs worth losing all respect and credibility?

Genuinely confused as to why #ChetanBhagat keeps speaking out against India’s ‘elite’. He’s the richest writer in India today .... with the fanciest homes, offices and cars in India and Singapore. And he comes with huge privilege. Yeh kya hypocrisy hai?

Dear Brand asking me to endorse your products for free. Dear Organiser asking me to give a speech for free. Dear Media Outlet asking me to write an article for free. My talent and time are worth much more than your 'free exposure'. So stop wasting my time and kindly fuck off.

If you’ve forgotten the horrifying statistics of rape and violence and discrimination against women, let the treatment of women like #RheaChakraborthy and #SamyukthaHegde remind you why we need feminism in India today.

Question for my writer friends. I’m getting a lot of emails from young boys and girls asking if they can be my ‘intern’. But I keep wondering what I’ll do with an intern while writing a book in solitude? So, do you think writers need assistants and what do they do with them?

When we fight for women from a minority religion we label it "gender equality", when we DON'T fight for women from a majority religion we label it "tradition". Because, politics > religion > tradition > equality > women #ModiInterview #PMtoANI #StopTheHypocrisy
