In a bid to encourage
women safety, Gurmeet Choudhary has decided to launch a self-defence app,
dedicated to his female fans.
“I’m advocating safety
through martial arts. I want to ensure that they take positive steps to protect
themselves when caught in tricky situations,” says Gurmeet.
Taking into account the
rising incidents of crime against women, Gurmeet decided to come up with the
idea. “We all know what happened during New Year’s Eve when young girls were
mocked at, molested and abused at public places. I was shocked and saddened by
the plight of those defenseless young girls.”
Gurmeet met a group of
young girls and social activists while on a visit to Hyderabad, “They were
aware that I had a fan base of young girls and that I was well-versed in
martial arts. They were researching on the topic and looking for various
measures to curb the rising crime rate against young girls,” he informs.
The actor also
demonstrated some basic self-defense techniques that young girls could use when
caught in difficult situations. “I further suggested that we come out with this
interactive app, whereby I could demonstrate these techniques, where young
girls could easily react if someone tried to grip their hand, hold their neck,
attack them from behind or tried to snatch their wallet. They could learn all
this sitting in the comfort of their homes. These techniques are taught to
every girl in China in their schools, but unfortunately in India, we have no
such education. I want all my female fans to avail of it. I want them to stand
strong and confident, ready to take on the world,” adds Gurmeet.
