Over the years, through my films, I have had the privilege to portray women who fight against injustice and protect the vulnerable. In fact, today, I have rushed here from the shooting Mardaani 3 so it all feels very surreal right now. This initiative taken by the Maharashtra Police is applaudable.""Today, cybercrimes — especially those against women and children — are silently rising within our homes. As a woman, and as a mother, I understand how crucial awareness is. When families know how to stay safe and where to seek help, real protection begins. I would like to also thank the honourable Chief Minister sir (Devendra Fadnavis), honourable ACS Sir (Iqbal Singh Chahal) and respected DGP ma'am (Rashmi Shukla), for guidance and leadership in prioritising this crucial mission of cyber safety," she added.ALSO READ: Akshay Kumar Reveals Daughter Nitara Was 'Asked For N*des' By Stranger, Raises Awareness Against Cyber Crimes Rani concluded her speech by pointing out the importance of help line numbers.
