Manoj Pahwa

Veteran actor Manoj Pahwa, who will be seen in Veere Di Wedding, says the film's story has a modern outlook that emphasises the freedom of choice women have in the new age society. Manoj told IANS: "I am playing the father-in-law of Kareena Kapoor Khan's character in the film. Though the length of my role in the narration is not huge, I agreed to do the film because of the story. I think Veere Di Wedding is a very modern film on women empowerment. When we talk about empowerment and gender equality, we mainly focus on education, job opportunity and financial independence. But this film talks about the choice of personal lifestyle as well."
