Shilpa Shetty speaks on safety measures for women

Shilpa Shetty was recently attended at a programme organised by the city police at Bhaidas Hall in Vile Parle to create awareness among the Ganesha Mandals about the safety and security during the ten day Ganesh festival which is starting from Monday,the 9th of September.

Urging women to become “self-reliant”, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty recommended them to carry a knife to protect themselves from molesters. “Some people and molesters have a sick mentality… Police are doing their best to protect us, but how much would they do? Women should be self-reliant and carry a knife when they are in crowd,” the actress told reporters when her opinion was sought against the backdrop of recent assaults on women and gangrapes in the metropolis.

 

“We are reading in newspapers about such incidents. I am just fed up and sometimes I feel what kind of society we are living in,” she said. Shilpa thanked the policemen for their good work.
“The job of policemen is extremely difficult and they are doing it in an extraordinary way. Entire load should not be put on the shoulders of policemen (during the Ganesh festival)…you become a responsible citizen and if you find anything unclaimed at any pandal, kindly inform the police,” the actor appealed.
