Indian women’s cricket star Smriti Mandhana has voiced a powerful message on women’s safety after watching the trailer of Mardaani 3. Deeply moved by the film’s theme, Mandhana highlighted the everyday struggles faced by girls and stressed that their protection must be treated as a national priority.

Sharing her thoughts, Mandhana said that girls go through a lot in life — often silently — and society must acknowledge their pain and resilience. She emphasised that when girls feel safe, they are able to dream, thrive and contribute not only to their families but also to the nation.

The cricketer praised Mardaani 3 for shedding light on an important social issue and urged people to come together to ensure safety for every woman and young girl. According to her, a society that fails to protect its girls cannot truly progress.

Mandhana’s statement has resonated widely on social media, with fans and followers applauding her for using her platform to raise awareness about women’s safety and empowerment. Her words add to the growing voices demanding stronger action and collective responsibility to build a safer nation for women.
