Do you know who I want my daughter to grow up to be? Vineeth Sreenivasan's Instagram story goes viral

It was not just Dipke, Saurav Das or Rahul Gandhi; the youth-led protests in the last few days have also put the spotlight heavily on 29-year-old Neha Bora. The National President of the All India Students Association (AISA) and a researcher at JNU, Bora is garnering widespread support for her ubiquitous presence throughout the agitation. Now, a social media reel shared by popular Malayalam film director Vineeth Sreenivasan in support of Neha is gaining significant attention.

"I want a daughter who grows up aware of her rights. I do not want her to grow up learning merely to survive in this world, or believing that caring for a partner is the sole purpose of her life. She should grow into a woman who knows her own worth, needs no one's help, refuses to be silenced or to seek permission to simply be herself, and stands firm in her convictions even if the entire world opposes her. Do you know who I want my daughter to grow up to be? She..." says the Reel shared by Vineeth Sreenivasan. The Reel incorporates visuals of Neha Bora at a protest site.

Many from the Malayalam cine industry have come out in support of Bora and the protest happening in Delhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Actress Nazriya shared a poster featuring Neha Bora via her Instagram Stories. She shared the post with the caption "Day 1 of Dussehra." The poster depicts the concept of Dussehra—the victory of good over evil—against the backdrop of the protests in Delhi.
