#WomensDay: Gurdeep Kohli says if a woman decides that she wants to do something then nothing can stop her

The past year has been a challenging one for everyone. The pandemic and the lockdown tested people’s skills and everyone had to face challenges which they had never even imagined that they would have to. And thus this year’s international women’s day theme is choose to challenge. Television actress Gurdeep Kohli,who started her career with the show Sanjivani, says that she has seen women around her not only facing challenges courageously but also taking up newer challenges.
The actress shares, “When we talk about life and challenges, the lockdown period is the time which we all remember at once. What life made us see last year especially in the lockdown is something many do not even want to remember. People got a chance to hone their skills like some people focussed on their cooking, some others on yoga etc. All this has helped everyone sail smoothly through that time of tension and difficulty.”
But she says that the challenges which women faced be it financially or mentally, they fought them with full strength and today many have benefited too with that.
“Women around me were making tiffins, papads and achars and initially they made it to help people but later, these women used these skills to contribute to their household income too. Money can turn around a person’s life and if a woman decides that she wants to do something then nothing can stop her from doing it. Because everything is in her head only,” shares the Shaurya Aur Anokhi Ki Kahani actress.
