Press Trust of India London
Actress Zoe Saldana says it is important for women to learn to say no.

The 38-year-old star says it took her long to realise the importance of declining things as much as accepting them, reported FemaleFirst.

"As women, we have to learn to feel extremely comfortable with the word 'no.' The word 'no' is the most positive term we will ever know as a woman because the moment you wake up as a woman... You're going to deal with so many more obstacles than man will deal with on an average basis.

"So if you're not comfortable with the word 'no' you're going to become a very unhappy individual. It took me many years, in my profession, to learn to say 'no' not based on privilege, based on principle," she said.
