Arjun Kapoor on women empowerment at Bend The Gender Awards

Mumbai, May 10: Actor Arjun Kapoor says it's high time people stop using the term "women empowerment" for the sake of it, and he feels change will happen for the better when the mindset of the men changes in the country.

Arjun, who has been associated with the Girl Rising campaign, interacted with the media at 'Bend The Gender Awards' here on Wednesday.

Sharing his views on women empowerment, Arjun said: "In India, we often say that girls are not capable of doing certain things. But if a husband can support his wife to achieve her dreams and goals, then I think he is a true hero. "

"The term 'women empowerment' has been in vogue from the last few years. A lot of people make use of it but they only use for the sake of it. Actually they don't put it to use. I always thought that empowerment of women will take place when the men of India will change their mindset. So, we thought that we need to honour those men this year who have somewhere made a difference to their partners, sisters or children's life."
