The whole B-Town has been giving out Women's Day special wishes, but actor Rahul Bose went a step ahead by organizing a special trek for all the ladies.
The 49 year-old-actor led a special 'Ladkiyan Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti Hain' trek that highlighted 'Poorna's undying spirit to fearlessly achieve her dreams.
"If she can climb Mount Everest, we can do a trek at least," said Rahul, director of upcoming biopic 'Poorna,' where he showcases the story of a girl, who climbs Mount Everest at the age of thirteen, even when the odds were against her.
The trek took place in the Sausage and Barometer Hill in Lonavla and involved Mumbai-based girls between the ages of 13-30.
The essence of the trek was to stand up for gender equality and highlight that 'Ladkiyan kuch bhi kar sakti hain,' which was the first statement spoken by Poorna after getting back from Mount Everest. The trek was streamed live by the Facebook India team.
