An Open Letter to Hrithik Roshan: Mehreen Quadri

Dear Hrithik Roshan-Man,

Do you know how to work like a Woman? I am a little more offended by your latest statement “Katrina works like a man” which you gave to Ahmedabad Times, published on 29th September, 2014. You have been tagged as one of the most respected actors and you have gain tremendous fame and success in the Film Industry. But you need to understand how a woman literally works. A Woman is the strongest among all the creatures. A man may work for 10 hours a day to earn his bread, but a woman has an ability to perform the roles of the Bread maker and the Bread earner together. 

A woman can equally work like a man in your article you have acknowledged Katrina Kaif stating that she amazes you with her hard work. But they why do you have to connect ‘hard work’ with the work of a man? Katrina Kaif is an independent, experienced and talented actress. She has reached the heights of success through her own self and hard work. She isn’t a man so she just cannot work like a man. Instead, her skills and work have inspired a lot of girls in India and abroad. 

You also mentioned in the article that “Also, she is a feminine energy, which is just beautiful”. Are you trying to say that girls who are not so feminine are not beautiful? She is a female; of course she would have a feminine energy. Hard work, success and beauty cannot be discriminated on the basis of the sex on the individual. It’s her/his inner being which makes them unique from others and not their sex.
Yours
A girl who proudly works like a woman!
