Actress Parineeti Chopra, the brand ambassador for Haryana's 'Beti Bachao Beti Padao' campaign, says she is not a ‘feminist’ but strongly voices for gender equality. The 26-year-old actress said she would like to be seen as a role model.
When asked if her understanding on women issues developed more after joining films, she said, “I am often confused to be a feminist but I am not. I do feel proud of my gender, of being a woman. I am the brand ambassador for Haryana's 'Beti Bachao Beti Padao' campaign. And I think it is very important for me personally to strive for equality, especially the industry that I come from," said the actress, who was in Hyderabad on Wednesday for an event.”

The ‘Ishaqzaade’ star feels, “I want women to be treated the way men are. Somewhere we lack that in our country. So, I do want to be a role model but not a feminist.”
