During an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Shefali Shah opined on women and their struggles. When the actress was asked whether she had been called opinionated as successful women are often believed to be having a lot of opinions, the actress clarified that she had never been labeled that before.

She said, “No, honestly I’m never been told that because I genuinely try to see it from two points of view.” Shah also mentioned that she views herself as a feminist and added, “Even when I am asked, are you a feminist, I want to say yes I am, because the dictionary meaning of feminism is equality between genders, it’s not one-upmanship. I mean I‘m no greater than the man and the man is no greater than me.”

She also highlighted that even the men suffer from “mental heath” and mentioned that she is quite “balanced in that way.”
