Bollywood’s Big B, Amitabh Bachchan has been crying out loud about women issues in India since the release date of his film ‘PINK’ was reaching close.
The actor, who is essaying the role of a lawyer in his latest release "Pink, said "What the film is saying has been a point of discussion for the longest time in our society. We all think about it and the makers have presented it in the form of cinema. We make our films depending on the changes and developments in the society. And the topic raised in the film is already a part of discussion in society" .

Bachchan has some hard-hitting dialogues in the film and he is proud of the way the writers worked on his lines. He told that I am really proud to be a part of the film. And every dialogue I have said in the film, if asked to say off camera I will say the same words without even thinking once.

Boys and girls are equal and rather than mending the behaviour of girls it is important for the family to teach their boys to respect women. He said "I have always treated my son and daughter equally. And whatever little I have managed to achieve in my life... I will divide it equally between them when I leave".

Sharing some moments from the film, the actor said "I always believe that to bring change in the society, it is important to change the upbringing. Boys should be taught to respect women. The letter I wrote was in respect of the film so it was for girls. I think now it's Jaya's turn to write a letter to boys."
