Speaking to indianexpress.com, Big B said, “Pink was a very important film for all us, our society and our country. The subject was a very important one. I have always held that daughters should get love and respect in our society. And whatever we said through this film I believe has affected the minds of many people. The most important thing was the message ‘no means no’. This message has given the country a new challenge, a new slogan. I am happy about it and also the fact that women liked it. I have always believed that women form 50 percent strength of our country and they must be given the dignity and respect that they deserve. I am happy to be associated with that cause through a film that propagates this dialogue.”
