Apart from being a versatile actor who has carved a niche for herself with her performances, Anupria Goenka is known to be a strong voice for gender equality and women empowerment. Last year, the actor was seen playing a pivotal part in Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors, a web series that talks about prevalent and grave issues like domestic abuse and marital rape. For Anupria, telling stories that can start a dialogue is her responsibility as an artiste.
Talking about it, she says, "Through my work, I want to highlight the issues that continue to affect women even today. In Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors, I played a lawyer where I am dealing with domestic abuse and violence. The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown saw a dramatic rise in these cases. Domestic abuse is still a very hush-hush issue. No one talks about it because it happens behind closed doors."
