Filmmaker Karan Johar has teamed up with actor Mithila Palkar for a short film that puts the spotlight on how women feel unsafe in public spaces in India, and says it is time people take the responsibility for the safety of women.

"The girls of our country are talented, and are recognised for it across all professional fields. But there is one more field that they are unfortunately 'talented' in, and that is managing their safety. While we salute them for this, we must acknowledge that [ensuring their] safety isn't a talent [one should have]. It's a social responsibility. And it's high time that we all take this responsibility for the safety of women," Johar said.
