Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor believes that she doesn't need to burn her bra to prove that she is a feminist.

The 30-year-old actress, who recently shot the cover for Harper Bazar's 7th Anniversary issue, said in the interview with the magazine, "I'm the girliest girl but I'm a complete feminist."

"It doesn't mean that I'm not wearing my dresses or my lipsticks and I'm definitely not burning my bra. I don't need to prove a point. It's about equal opportunity, whether you're man, woman, transgender. Own who you are and know your worth," the 'Neerja' star added.

Sonam also said that more female driven flick should be made in the industry, "Films like Neerja and Piku aren't the same as, say, Tanu Weds Manu or Khoobsurat or The Dirty Picture. More commercially driven films need to be made, where you push women into the mainstream. Women-centric shouldn't be a genre.
