Hansa Singh passionately advocates for girls’ empowerment, emphasizing education, equality, and societal support.
Drawing from personal inspiration and professional insight, she calls for collective action to uplift and protect the girl child.
For actress and tarot card reader Hansa Singh, the conversation around girls’ empowerment isn’t just a topic, it’s a personal mission rooted in lived experience, family influence, and a deep belief in the power of womanhood.
“Girl means growth… girl means generation, girl means society. No girl, no procreation, no growth, nothing will move. She is the mover of the universe,” Hansa says, her words echoing a conviction shaped by years of witnessing gender disparities firsthand.
She adds, “The universe itself is a female power. Every day is a girl’s day in my mind, yet to make it visible, we have awareness initiatives.”
Her perspective isn’t theoretical, it’s inherited from the strong female role models in her life, especially her mother. Hansa recalls, “She rose through chaos, strength by strength, holding our family together. In her youth, she was a champion in sports and a sitarist, winning numerous championships. She showed us the power of dreams and the importance of pursuing them, even against the odds. We are rebels with a cause because of her.”
That cause, for Hansa, extends beyond her platform in the entertainment industry. Whether on set or off-screen, she actively supports girls through grassroots work. She says, “Education, hygiene, and healthy living are crucial for building a strong society. I work with NGOs to provide sanitary pads and spread awareness about menstrual health, so girls don’t drop out of school.”
But awareness alone isn’t enough. Hansa is quick to point out the ongoing inequalities in families, workplaces, and even the world she works in. She says, “Disparities remain everywhere. Even in our industry, female artists earn less despite equal skill and education. Girls excel in school but often come second when it comes to jobs. Early marriage is still a norm in many families. We’ve come far, but we still have a long way to go. My question is why fight when we are right?”
As someone who’s spent years in front of the camera, Hansa knows the media has a role to play in shifting perceptions. She notes, “We try our best through television series and storytelling, but every family must reflect on where they are going wrong. Together, in harmony, we can achieve change.”
Her advice to communities and families is clear and urgent. She shares, “First, don’t kill the girl child. Second, don’t marry her off early. Let her study, let her fly. Support her dreams and then you will see the change in families and society.”
