Actress and Celebrity Stylist Calls for Genuine Respect Toward Women in Entertainment and Sports

Lack of Respect Despite Progress

Actress and celebrity stylist Riddhima Sharma, who has worked with stars like Mannara Chopra, Riya Sen, and cricketer Vaibhav Arora, says respect for women is still lacking. She has seen even educated people disrespect women around them.

Fame Is Not a License to Disrespect

“Why do some public figures, including cricketers, treat women like easy targets?” Sharma asks. She believes many confuse fame with a right to disrespect others.

Respect Matters More Than Wealth

“Money comes and goes, but respect is hard to regain,” Sharma says. “In the end, respect — not wealth — defines a person.”

A Growing Problem in Entertainment and Sports

Sharma highlights a worrying trend in recent years. “Some newcomers in cricket and entertainment misuse their power and prey on innocent hearts,” she says. “This behavior is truly disappointing.”

Women Deserve More Than Words

“In our culture, a woman is an embodiment of Goddess Laxmi — a symbol of purity, prosperity, and grace,” Sharma notes. She urges society to show real respect, not just say it.

The Fierce Strength of Women

“A woman can be nurturing like Saraswati and generous like Laxmi. But when pushed too far, she rises as Kali — fierce and fearless,” Sharma adds. She reminds everyone that women are sacred and should never be taken for granted.

A Call to Action: Show True Respect

Sharma ends with a powerful plea: “Let’s not just say ‘respect women’ — let’s show it, live it, and mean it.”
