Mary Kom, Juhi Chawla, Sania Mirza: See The Music Video Featuring Them Together!

These women are achievers and self-made and this time, they have come together for a music video for artiste Ananya Birla! Birla's music is about celebrating women being unstoppable.

The video features 14 trailblazing women together on one single platform for the very first time. It includes Mary Kom, Neerja Birla, Aparna Popat, Sania Mirza, Juhi Chawla, Pooja Hegde, Gabriella Demetriades, Kanika Kapoor, Anusha Dandekar, Sukriti Kakar, Karishma Chavan, Malini Agarwal and Falguni Peacock, are seen standing together as empowered women, performing over Ananya’s soaring vocals. The aesthetically shot video has been directed by Karishma Chavan of ‘Tareefan’ and ‘Veere Di Wedding’ fame.

The empowering video hails woman power and goes on to call out a slew of gender-based tags, expressions and double standards used to stereotype men and women in India.

Initially scripted for her mother, Neerja Birla, the 24-year-old pop singer-songwriter wrote the lyrics in 2015 as a tribute to her mentor.

Ananya Birla told media: “This is a feel-good anthem, which I wrote taking inspiration from my mom. I penned it in 2015 and am finally being able to release it with women that I find to be very inspiring. The idea that society underlines our gender norms should not restrict us from working towards what we want to achieve. I truly believe that your gender doesn’t define you, and being yourself makes you unstoppable. This video showcases women who have overcome gender role expectations. I hope people can watch this and feel empowered, free and unstoppable.”

The track follows on from five back-to-back platinum-selling singles ‘Meant To Be’, ‘Hold On’, ‘Circles’, ‘Livin’ the Life’ and ‘Better’ that have amassed over 150 million streams globally.

Ananya is herself an inspiring figure as she is a five-time platinum selling, 24-year-old singer and songwriter, who holds the record for being the first Indian artiste with an English single to go platinum. She has performed at concerts including Global Citizen and Asia’s biggest EDM Festival – Sunburn; and was listed as one of GQ’s Most Influential Young Indians, Miss Vogue’s 28 under 28 Genius and Forbes’ Women to Watch, recently gracing their cover.
