The movie was played with the objective to sensitize the students on 'Gender Stereotypes’ and provide them with a distinguishing view of the preconception about attributes or the roles that are ought to be performed by women and men in our society.

During the event, the students also provided their inputs about how Shashi (the protagonist) learnt to overcome the challenges through skill acquisition and financial Independence. Students emphasized the importance of Gender Neutrality in today’s world and highlighted the way in which the movie talked about it. Further, the students were asked to ponder upon ways in which they can strike a balance at the workplace in a team where people are coming from different regions, cultures and backgrounds. The audience was apprised of the gender stereotypes prevailing in society and the ways in which we can overcome them by adopting an open-minded, logical and compassionate attitude. Overall, the students had good time learning about such serious concepts through a light-hearted approach.
