International Women's Day is observed March 8 every year to celebrate womanhood. The world has witnessed several strong and powerful women who deserve to be honoured.

From business to Bollywood, the pretty ladies have set their foot and have proved their skills in different fields. Women are outreaching men in every walk of life, including the film industry.

While several women-centric films have become box office hits, actresses like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra have left the male actors behind as action heroes. In fact, Deepika and Priyanka made India proud by bagging Hollywood projects, unlike Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan.

However, these divas have gained a lot of respect and to celebrate achievements of such women several Bollywood celebs shared thoughtful messages on social media. Farhan Akhtar has dedicated a song to women on this day, while SRK gave the reason why he doesn't want to become a woman.

Similarly, celebs like Akshay Kumar, Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Hema Malini, Dhanush and AR Rahman have posted Women's Day wishes on Twitter.

Take a look at the tweets here:
