Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon has made history by becoming the first Indian woman actor to speak at the prestigious World Health Summit 2025 in Berlin. Recently appointed as the Gender Equality Ambassador by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for India, Kriti addressed an international audience with a compelling speech that emphasized the crucial link between women’s health and global prosperity. Her participation at this esteemed event marks a significant milestone for Indian cinema and highlights her growing influence beyond film.
In her speech, titled “Women’s Health – The Wealth of the World,” Kriti highlighted the urgent need for governments and international organizations to prioritize women’s health. She pointed out that, despite women constituting nearly half of the world’s population, there is a severe lack of adequate funding and resources dedicated to their healthcare needs. She stressed that women’s health should be seen as foundational to humanity’s progress and future development.
Kriti also emphasized that investing in women’s health and gender equality is not only a moral imperative but a strategic investment for the future. She explained that healthy women are the pillars of strong families, communities, and economies. In a powerful moment during her address, Kriti reinforced the message of “Nothing Without Her,” urging greater inclusion of women in health and wellness initiatives. She also called for timely global intervention to bring about meaningful changes in key areas such as child marriage and maternal healthcare.
In addition to her advocacy work, Kriti’s professional career continues to thrive. She is set to star alongside Dhanush in the upcoming romantic drama Tere Ishq Mein, directed by Anand L. Rai. The film is scheduled to release on November 28, further cementing Kriti’s position as one of Bollywood’s leading actresses.
