Eesha Koppikhar to work for the cause of girl
Eesha Koppikhar seems to be a woman of many trades. Just days after announcing her arrival as a producer with the sequel of her critically acclaimed film Shabri, the 'marathi mulgi' is now gearing up to bring about a change in society. Sources close to the actress claim that Eesha is really concerned about the situation of the girl child in India. The actress feels that living in metros like Mumbai and Delhi, we are unaware about the social evils borne by women under the pretext of tradition and customs.
The actress recently associated herself with the DY Patil Annual Achievers Award, which was a NGO initiative. Eesha feels social evils like child marriage and female foeticide must end and hence she plans to do all she can to help the cause. The actress adds, "It's sad that while we are doing so well in technology and other aspects, issues like education and protection of the girl child are unaddressed. I want to work for the betterment of the girl child and will do all I can to address these issues effectively."
The actress also has plans to spread a message for the general upliftment of the girl child through her films. Adds Eesha, "Films are an important medium in our country and if I can help a cause as important as this through cinema, then I don't see any harm in that."
