Bollywood movie scenes showcasing men empowering women grabs eyeballs online – Watch

Men support women and empower them because it is essential for a fair and just society. When women have equal opportunities and rights, everyone benefits. Men play a crucial role in this by advocating for gender equality, creating inclusive environments, and challenging stereotypes. 

Despite the pivotal role, Bollywood has played in perpetuating gender norms and female objectification. There are filmmakers who have tried to shatter these barriers and empower women beautifully in movies like 'Life in a... Metro', 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl', 'Aashiqui 2', 'Dear Zindagi', 'Dil Dhadakne Do', 'Pink', and many more. These movies showcase how men empower women through their stories.

In the movie 'Life in a... Metro', Irrfan Khan's character encourages Konkona Sen Sharma's character to take a chance in life, saying, "Do you know I have a friend who bought a car five years ago and it's still parked in the garage. Want to know why?" 

When Konkona asks why, Irrfan replies, "He says he'll take it out the day all the traffic lights in the city turn green." Konkona responds, "He's such a fool. How will he know if the signal turns green if he doesn't take the car out?" Irrfan concludes, "Exactly. Take your chance." This scene highlights how men like Irrfan's character guide women like Konkona's character in the movie.

In another scene from 'Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl', Pankaj Tripathi's character says, "Look, whether a boy or a girl flies the plane, both are called pilots. And when the plane doesn't care who's flying it, why should you?" This scene challenges stereotypes about women in traditionally male-dominated roles, illustrating an empowering message.

In the romantic musical 'Aashiqui 2', Aditya Roy Kapur's character introduces Shraddha Kapoor's character Aarohi on stage, declaring, "It's time to introduce you all to the nightingale of India and our country's latest singing sensation, Aarohi Keshav Shirke." This moment showcases how men can empower women to showcase their talents and succeed.
