This Women’s Day, MTV urges you to treat women with equality and not cupcakes
MUMBAI: Women’s Day is right around the corner and soon we’ll see social media and various other platforms flooded with messages that appreciate womanhood. Brands will go out of their way to entice women with gifts and letters to make them feel important. But, is that what they ask for? Has anyone ever asked what they really want? Women don’t need this facade to tell them what they already know. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee! This Women’s Day, MTV presents a video not for women but for all the superficial men who think they can woo a woman by showering her with their pseudo charming tactics. A Women doesn’t need to be reminded that she is special, she’s already aware that she’s worth a million bucks. She is not your next door docile girl who cuddles with soft toys. She is a feisty lady and she loves it like that.
If you really want to gift her something, gift her with a sense of equality and respect. Let her know she has an equal standing as the men in the society, that she is no less, be it at home or outside. Take a vow that she will not be frowned upon when she makes her own choices. Come, join MTV in this endeavor because the channel believes in making women feel special, not because it’s Women’s Day but because they deserve it.

MUMBAI: Mumbai is about to witness something it has never seen before. The Global Youth Festival arrives on 6-7 December at Jio World Garden with 15,000 attendees and 60-plus experiences sprawled across six sprawling arenas. On its sixth edition, this is no ordinary jamboree—it is a carefully orchestrated collision of wellness, adventure, arts, music, yoga and social change.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis will throw open the proceedings with a landmark ceremony, signalling the state’s backing for a movement that has already mobilised youth across 20-plus countries and 170-plus cities. The sheer scale is staggering: 500-plus volunteers powering the machine, 600,000-plus volunteer hours logged across previous editions, and millions of lives touched annually.
The speaker roster is formidable. Diipa Büller-Khosla and Dipali Goenka, chief executive of Welspun India, will share the stage with Malaika Arora in conversations spanning leadership, creativity and culture. Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs Mansukhbhai Mandaviya will also attend, reinforcing GYF’s reach into the corridors of power.
But this is not mere talk. The Solaris Mainstage promises concerts from renowned Indian artists. Innerverse delivers a 360-degree LED spectacle of art, technology and sound. The Love and Care Arena houses hands-on projects spanning women’s empowerment, child education, rural upliftment and animal welfare. India’s largest outdoor sound-healing experience awaits. An inflatable obstacle course, neon drifter karts and open-sky bouldering cater to thrill-seekers.
Some have branded GYF the “Coachella of Consciousness.” Others call it “India’s Largest Sober Festival.” Spiritual visionary Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, who inspired the festival, will deliver the Wisdom Masterclass. Every rupee goes to charity.
After Mumbai comes Kolkata on 14 December. New York looms next year. For one weekend in December, Mumbai becomes the epicentre of youth-driven change—and nothing will be quite the same after.
