Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar, the first man to be appointed a UN Women’s South Asia Goodwill Ambassador, called for gender equality on International Men’s Day on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old has not only explored different realms of filmmaking such as directing, acting and singing, he has also voiced several important issues of gender equality through his Men Against Rape and Discrimination (Mard) campaign.
“International Men’s day today. Let’s make it a marker for a renewed understanding of how we can contribute to create an equal future. #Mard.” the actor tweeted.
Farhan, who has created ripples at the box office with his film Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, is currently busy with sister Zoya Akhtar’s film Dil Dhadakne Do and Do.
