KIRRON Kher may be supporting a campaign against eve teasing, but the Bollywood actor feels films are only meant for entertainment and not for spreading social messages.

"Films are meant to entertain people, not preach social messages. Art films are best left to do that," Kher, who is also a theatre personality, told IANS.

In the capital to felicitate young women achievers in diverse fields, Kher said that it was however important that celebrities take up issues of social importance and talk about them because they have a great influence on the masses' opinion.

"People look up to celebrities and public figures. Therefore it is their responsibility to take up social issues and talk about them because they have the capability to change people's opinions and attitudes," she said.
