EXCLUSIVE: Women’s Day Special! Riddhi Kumar Shares Powerful Message; Says, “True Empowerment Is Understanding One’s Worth”

Actress Riddhi Kumar has steadily carved a place for herself in the entertainment industry with her sincerity, talent, and thoughtful approach toward storytelling. Over the years, she has impressed audiences with her performances and continues to build a meaningful journey in showbiz. As the world celebrates International Women’s Day, the actress opened up about the kind of female characters that inspire her the most. She shared a deeply personal perspective on empowerment and the experience of being a woman.

Riddhi Kumar On What Roles Inspire Her

Speaking about the roles that inspire her as an artist, Riddhi said she has always been drawn to stories where women lead the narrative. Riddhi Kumar spoke to Bollywood Bubble, “As an artist, the kind of female characters that have always inspired me, first and foremost. And it might sound a bit selfish, but female characters that have led the entire story. As an audience, we tend to see the story through the narrator’s perspective and the protagonist’s perspective. There are incredible, really strong female characters. The ones that I’ve personally associated the most with are when the females have been the protagonists of a particular film or the story that is driving the narrative.”

Riddhi On How Films Help See Women In An Individualistic Way

She also spoke about how certain films have helped her see women in a more personal and individualistic way. The actress shared that stories where women are simply shown living their lives.

Riddhi said, “Because then I feel like I’m genuinely stepping into her shoes and films like The Worst Person In The World, Queen, and Blue Is The Warmest Color, it sort of makes you understand women from such an individualistic lens that women are not just seen as fighters, survivors, breaking shackles of patriarchy, and glass ceilings. But rather as just women for coming of age every single day at whatever age they’re at, and figuring things out, making mistakes, and learning from them, having failures, having heartbreaks, not looking their best.”

Riddhi On The Most Powerful Lesson Learnt

Reflecting on her own journey, Riddhi also shared the most powerful lesson she has learned as a woman. She explained, “I think in my journey so far, the most empowering learning as a woman is empowerment. It is not something that comes externally, but just an intrinsic idea that I matter. What I say matters, what I do matters, my existence matters. And I am not lesser than anybody else, especially like a male counterpart.”

Riddhi further added that society often places subtle expectations and judgments on women in everyday life. However, she believes it is important for women to recognise their own worth and individuality beyond these limitations.

Sharing her heartfelt conclusion, the actress said, “Being a woman is God’s biggest gift. It’s a blessing in itself. It’s the most incredible feeling in the world. I feel blessed to be a woman. I feel blessed to be the person that I am. The most empowering lesson that I’ve learned as a woman is that I matter. And I’m not defined by my gender. I feel true empowerment is understanding one’s own worth.”

Riddhi Kumar’s thoughtful reflections on this Women’s Day bring out an important message: Empowerment starts from within, and every woman should be able to see her own story told honestly, uniquely, and with respect.
