Kiran Rao’s Laapataa Ladies received praise from film critics. The humour, story, and performances, everything about it was top-notch. The director exclusively shared her ideas of feminism during a candid chat with us and gave some thought-provoking advice for women. Laapataa Ladies director Kiran Rao referred to an Instagram post which said how difficult it becomes for women to just say “Thank you” in return for a compliment. The director agreed to the post and said, “It is so true. I also decided that I am going to own it, and say thank you instead of feeling apologetic, or you don’t deserve it or amazed by the fact that you don’t deserve it. It’s such a powerful thought, that we tend not to even acknowledge that we are good, or we can do it, or we are successful. Just thank you is enough.”
