Notes of angst
Indo-Canadian Punjabi singer AP Dhillon has expressed his anger and disappointment over the horrific rape and murder of the 31-year-old doctor in Kolkata through a song.
Dhillon took to his Instagram stories on Friday morning and wrote, “Woke up today wanting to let my thoughts out the only way I know how…” along with a clip with a tribute song with heartbroken emojis. In the song, the Excuses hitmaker asked for justice for the victim and talked about the innate power of women and how society continues to fail.
In the video, Dhillon is seen singing with the lyrics, “She has saved many lives and souls. God, how could her fate end so tragically? She was not safe even in a place where everyone knew her. Today, we all ask you, is it a curse to be born a girl in this world? For the women who have transformed the world, society has refused to change around them, though they have swum oceans worth of progress, society has barely moved an inch. What happened 12 years ago continues to happen today. Why do we still have to march for women to live in peace?”
A string of Bollywood personalities, including names such as Alia Bhatt, Twinkle Khanna, Kangana Ranaut, Soni Razdan, Ayushmann Khurrana, Kriti Sanon, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Parineeti Chopra, Preity Zinta, Mimi Chakraborty, and Richa Chadha, have demanded justice for the victim. — IANS
