Girls should learn to defend themselves, says Rani

The recent Delhi gang-rape case, which claimed the life of a young girl, was a reality check for women as to how safe they are in this country. The aam junta and celebrities had come together to protest against the incident. But there are many cases, which go unnoticed and the culprits manage to walk away scot-free.
At a recent event on women's safety, Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji spoke about how the fairer sex should protect themselves.She recalled how she had slapped men for misbehaving.
Rani says, “We worship Kaali Maa and the kind of strength she had, every woman possesses. It’s only about understanding that strength and reacting. I feel sexual harassment starts from our home. The day women start taking a stand against it, men will not be able to do wrong.”
She adds, “When a man misbehaves, girls should slap that person right then and there rather than screaming for help. I have taken that rudra form of Kaali Maa and slapped men who have misbehaved with me.”
Commenting further on safety, Rani says, “I request RR Patil (Maharashtra Home Minister) to introduce Karate in schools. And if anyone still teases you, hit them between their legs.”
