Like every modern woman, actor Isha Koppikhar believes that the future belongs to the fairer sex. "Women have proved that they are equal to men in every way. I think that with greater opportunities, more girls will rise and show their latent potential to the world," says Isha, who is thrilled about playing a strong woman character in an upcoming film. The actor shares her list of wow women with CS:
Who: Isha Koppikhar
What: Talking about the women she admires
Where: At the Narang bungalow in Bandra
Mother Teresa
As clich ufffdd as this may sound, this woman never ceases to amaze me. I am sure she never thought about what she would get in return when she reached out to the needy. She has showed us that life is beautiful when we live for others. I am not sure how much I can do for others, but I definitely want to imbibe a bit of her selfless spirit.u00a0
Audrey Hepburn
We all know Audrey for her hairdo and the little black dress, but she was much more than that. Hailed as a fashion icon, she told people beauty wasn't just about looks and glamour. The lady had seen the trauma of World War II during her childhood as well as the highs and lows of stardom. As she retired from Hollywood, Audrey travelled to poor and underdeveloped countries as an UNICEF ambassador.
Kiran Bedi
I have never had the chance to meet her, but I hold her in high regard. When you observe women like her, you know that nothing is impossible for the fairer sex. All of us know about her determination, courage and will power. She represents the contemporary Indian woman to the tee. Whenever I read about her fighting for the public at large, it reminds me of how much a woman can achieve.
Nargis Dutt
I feel that she the best actress in the industry. She was beautiful inside out.u00a0 When I saw Mother India, I knew that I had to become an actor, so moving was her performance. All of us know how she worked for social causes when she was older.
My mothers (mom and mom-in-law)
Throughout my childhood, I saw my mom giving up on luxuries to meet our dreams and just looking after the family's happiness. Honestly, I don't think today mothers are willing to sacrifice as much. My mom-in-law is also someone I look up to. The way in which she manages the house, keeps herself active and takes care of everyone is amazing. My husband Timmy is what he is because of her.
