Varun Dhawan: Who runs the world -- girls. Happy International Women's Day. I hope we realise we don't need a day to remind us to respect women because we need to do it everyday.

Madhur Bhandarkar: I've always been touched by the commitment, dedication and struggle that a woman goes through as a individual, mother, sister, wife, daughter to survive and I've tried to signify it through my films and will continue to do so. My respect and gratitude to every woman. Happy Women's Day.
