Speaking on the issue of censorship, Kapoor said, "Wehonour certain values as we enter people’s houses and Icertainly keep that in mind for our programmes. "He (the film viewer) should be allowed to what hewants to see outside his house," she said while speaking at a Q& A session at the FICCI Ladies Organisation here last evening. When asked about censor board’s act of censoring scenes inrecent films, Kapoor said, "We cannot be prudish… We cannotrun away from certain problems. Can we stop or prohibit anyonefrom speaking or doing what he wants?" Kapoor credited her success to the fighting instinct thatwomen have. "…whatever I am is because I am a woman. All thesefighter instincts women have, make them successful in life…I was too young to be taken seriously by people when I hadstarted (at 18). Contrast that with the environment at presentwhich is women-centric," she said. PTI SUS MDBK
