International Women's Day comes around every year, and every year B-Town joins in the celebration. However, it's not every day that women are acknowledged for everything they achieve beyond the huge struggles the world puts before them. Today at least, we can look at what celebrities have to say on Women's day. One day when it's okay to be unabashedly feminist.
Some funny, some heartfelt, others fierce, the posts represent womanhood as it is, in the broadest diversity. Isn't that what Women's Day is about after all?

Rishi Kapoor echoed everyone when he said, "Every day should be celebrated as a Woman's Day."
International Women’s Day world wide. I have had the privilege of working in some of the most important films on women emancipation. I take immense pride in it. “Prem Rog” “Damini” “Tawaif” are few. Every day should be celebrated as a Woman’s Day. Congratulations! pic.twitter.com/tnMj4giSkd
