It’s International Women’s Day on March 8, a day to celebrate women all around the world, and a reminder to create an empowering society for women. Though the society has progressed in terms of women and their rights, it still has a long way to go, but this continuous effort to keep going will only be possible if women don’t give up. While there are such women around us, there are few examples on the small screen too who are a source of inspiration and have made women believe that no matter what, one should never lose hope and focus on their goal.
