Shehnaaz Gill, Bhumi Pednekar visited new Parliament building with their ‘Thank You for Coming’ co-stars Dolly Singh and Shibani Bedi on September 20. They met union minister Anurag Thakur there.  

Shehnaaz talked about the Women’s Reservation Bill and said, "It is a great step. I am a woman. If we are given rights and equal treatment, even parents too will support girls. I come from a small village. The girls are married off so that they get settled. But after this, if girls and boys are treated as equals, a lot of things in the country will change." 

Shibani also shared her thoughts on the bill and said, "This is a beautiful moment, a landmark moment in history. The passage of this Bill -- women from all facets of life will get a chance to be a part of the law-making process. So, I think it is a great development.” 

Dolly Singh said that reservation was needed and that, “it is important for women leaders and women to go ahead. 

‘Thank You For Coming’ is helmed by producer Rhea Kapoor's husband Karan Boolani.
