Bhumi hails Pink E-Rickshaw initiative

Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar advocates financial freedom and safety for women with Pink E-Rickshaw drive

Actress Bhumi Pednekar has extended her support to the Pink E-Rickshaw initiative. Speaking about the project, the Badhaai Do actress highlighted the importance of creating opportunities for women.

Speaking to the media at the launch event, Bhumi said that the initiative aims to empower women by providing them with e-rickshaws, enabling them to earn a livelihood independently. She emphasized that financial freedom and self-reliance are crucial for women’s empowerment.

Bhumi Pednekar stated, “First of all, I would like to say that today we had an incredible panel where we talked about the environment, women’s safety, and empowerment, and I think this initiative exactly highlights those things.

“Basically, our female drivers will be given a rickshaw; they will be empowered; they will be given financial freedom; they will be given independence. And a very simple thing is that if our country’s women are capable, then our country will move forward faster, there will be more safety.

“And I think this initiative does an actionable thing. We always think that this should be done, that should be done for women’s empowerment. This was actually done by Bhamla Foundation. And I hope that this Pink Rickshaw initiative will spread all over the country. Today, 1,000 rickshaws will be be launched in Mumbai. The target is 12,000 for Maharashtra. They will be given in other states as well,” added Bhumi Pednekar.
