I don’t go on the roads and clean the streets in the name of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan just to show I care, instead I practice it as a dutiful citizen,” says model turned actress Gauhar Khan.
Gauhar Khan was here in Bhopal on Wednesday to launch the new initiative of Digital India by Videocon. She is the official ambassador of Videocon TeleCom.Talking to The Pioneer, she shared her views on the situations of the contemporary society and how she takes up on them.
“I am very certain about these things. I know initiatives have been taken but they are not implemented properly. laws are required in our country for people to follow these initiatives taken,” Gauhar added.
Gauhar, on the other hand, stated that India was a young country and so every citizen needed to understand how the situations could be changed. “I see people throwing garbage on the roads and mind you these are well educated peoples. What are they teaching to their children I don’t know. But this has to be changed and this can only be changed when people themselves will take the initiative.”
Talking about women empowerment she said, “With this Digital India initiative we are trying to empower women. Though they are less digital or techno friendly but with this initiative they will definitely discover something really exciting.”
She said that our Prime Minister was a dynamic personality as he had been working for country’s growth and this is one of the initiatives he has taken.
Elaborating further she said, “Women of our country are dynamic. But there is always a limited time for everything and I am expecting positive outcome of this initiative as this will really empower women. It will be totally upto them how they use and how they will learn to use it and be a part of Digital India.”
While she was talking about the social causes she also talked about her journey in Big Boss and her future projects in the pipeline. She said that the most memorable moment for me in Big Boss was when I was announced as the winner. “Big Boss is all mind game and one has to portray his or her individuality and that’s what I did,” added Gauhar.
She further said that there are few projects she is working on that will be soon declared. She signed off saying that it was a wonderful trip to Bhopal.
