Today marks a celebration of the economic, social, cultural and political achievements made by women over the years. Cheers to all of us!
Abhishek Bachchan: Someone asked why is there a Women's Day and not a Men's Day? My answer... Women make sure that the rest of the year is men's day by celebrating us. So one day in a year is the least we can do when it should be the other way round. Happy women's day ladies!
