There is a festive nip in the air and our celebs can feel it too. Here to celebrate womanhood at a kitty party event, these popular faces tell you what is the true shakti behind the naris. This navratra celebrate woman power in true spirit, they tell Deebashree Mohanty
So, what is that one power that a lady has and a man doesn’t to get her way, we asked...
Turn on the charm quotient:
“A woman can charm her way into or out of any situation. She can just bat her eyelids and the job is done (or undone) whatever the case may be. I unleash my charm quotient only when I have to bypass a long queue or have been stopped by a traffic cop. It works 9 times out of 10,” the spunky Chandigarh ki kudi, Neha Bagga says. Rajji of Bani..., a show on Colors, throws caution to the wind too. “But I don’t do it too often. You may get caught and then no amount of charm will save the day,” she says.
Talk with your eyes
If you have expressive eyes, just flaunt them. Seal your lips and speak with your eyes. Says whoIJ Sangeeta Ghosh of Jee le Zaraa on Sony advises. For her, the shakti lies in the eyes. “Men can’t express with their eyes at all. But a woman can do it well. She can warn you through them. She is not scared of shedding a tear or two if emotional,” Ghosh says, adding that she uses her eyes to tell people that they are crossing the line. “Whenever I am traveling or am at an event, I use my eyes to let people know that they are not making me feel comfortable. They get the message,” she says, showing off her expressions to convey various emotions.
Know when to back off
A woman knows when to step away — Toral Rasputra aka Anandi of Balika Vadhu says. “When I am right, I am not a quitter and will fight till the very end to prove a point. But somehow women know when to put a full stop. They can back off at the right time without making a compromise. later, it is the other person who comes begging for another chance. With a man, this can never be the case. He will keep at it,” Rasputra says. She has been using this shakti to make her script writer tweak certain portions which she felt were right.
Enduring any amount of pain
But is that a power at allIJ “You will be surprised how it is a huge plus. I have been on a strict shooting schedule thanks to Bani... and I have to travel for hours to reach the sets, but I can deal with all problems way better than any other man. Because a woman can endure a lot of pain. It takes a lot of effort to break her spirit. That is her real shakti. I have had my fair share of struggles and each time someone throws a challenge, I take it up. They have no idea how to beat me so they give up. You should try it sometime,” Shefali Sharma, aka Bani, says.
She tells you that the more your ability to withstand, the more shakti you derive to face the world. Atta girl!
