While the world is busy celebrating womanhood on International Women’s Day with marketing gimmicks and special ‘discounts’ for women, our Indian celebrities and sportspersons are taking out some time to genuinely thank the women in their lives.

Whether it’s their daughter, wife or mother, the who’s who of the sports and Bollywood industry took to their social media to celebrate womanhood. And the best part is that while doing so, they are doing their bit to enlighten their fans and spread awareness about what all women are achieving and how they are fighting whatever hurdles life throws at them in their own unique ways.

1. Amitabh Bachchan’s Twitter was flooded with pictures of his daughter, wife, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters. However, he made sure to request his fans to do whatever they can for the empowerment of women.

5. Diljit Dosanjh reminded us how a woman is at the core of every relationship. 

No Relationship is complete without a woman in this world. ��
She plays the role of…
A “Loving Mother”
A “Caring Sister”
An “Understanding Wife”
A “Lovable Daughter”
You have everything in you and that’s the reason why the world is celebrating you.
Happy Women’s Day!!

9. Madhur Bhandarkar, who is known for directing women-centric films, couldn’t be more grateful.

I’ve always been touched by the commitment, dedication & struggle that a woman goes through as a individual, mother, sister, wife, daughter to survive and I’ve tried to signify it through my films & will continue to do so. My respect & gratitude 2 every woman.

While all the men went all out with their wishes, our ladies obviously didn’t stay behind to celebrate themselves and other women. From Bipasha Basu to Anushka Sharma, everyone had a special message for their fellow ladies.

Every step makes a difference when you believe in something strongly and do your bit. It might not show immediately but the results do create a ripple and an impact. To all the women fighting for what they believe in, don’t give up !! Happy #WomensDay💖✨🌸

#love #happiness #freedom #beauty #divinity #energy #conviction #courage💋 Women can’t be defined generically, even when mentioned collectively!!!😊â?¤ï¸? To truly celebrate a woman, it’s important to accept all ‘her’ nuanced differences, her innate strength, momentary vulnerabilities & yes strength again!ðŸ‘? it’s often said, ‘women are complicated’ 😊 well, imagine going through a lifetime of fast paced changes, physically, biologically, emotionally, socially…then realise, just how uncomplicated a ‘woman’ actually makes it all look!!!ðŸ‘?😘â?¤ï¸? She’s not perfect, but gives it ‘HER’ all, she’s born with a heart of a nurturer, with the ‘Will’ to be a provider. She’s #shakti not for the lack of fear but for owning courage inspite of it!ðŸ‘? She’s a force of nature, that drives the seasons..no matter what the role, resilient until the very end!ðŸ™? Dugga Dugga #HappyWomensDay â?¤ï¸?😊😘 what a privilege to be born a woman!!! With love & kisses, Alisah, Renée & yours truly!!!😉ðŸ˜?💋I love you guys!!!

While the celebration of womanhood should not be restricted to a single day in the year, all these wishes and messages are just more proof that without women, everything is incomplete.
