On September 27, 2026, Kriti Sanon chose to speak about facts on Daughter’s Day. Via her social media handle, she expressed her pain-filled words on a very important matter often overlooked in the country. She spoke on how women are unable to live on their own terms and always have to keep an eye over their shoulders. The constant fear of resorting to defensive measures and the pressure of not being able to go around alone at night. The threats reside in many.
Her post read, “This Daughter’s Day, imagine your daughter calling you, saying, “I think I’m being followed by some men.” Imagine her walking home alone at night, constantly looking over her shoulder. Imagine her phone dying before she reaches home. Now let that sink in..”
She added, “From sharing her live location, to carrying pepper spray, to booking a cab instead of walking, or calling someone just to feel safer – we have forced her to make this her lifestyle. The day a daughter can walk home alone at night, sit in a park after dark, wear whatever the hell she wants, take public transport without fear, or simply exist in a public space without calculating the risk of being assaulted. That is the day we should celebrate Daughter’s Day.”
She continued, “To every daughter who has ever called home and said, “I’ve reached.” May you one day live in a world where you don’t have to.. That is the world our daughters deserve! And that is the world we owe them!”
This post helps raise the required voice to address the concerns in the country, especially after the recent alleged gang rape of a 17-year-old in Kalkaji.
