He went on to say: Thank you for the Honour and the Responsibility. Shall try my best to work towards Gender Equality worldwide.:)

The actor also said that he would personally reply to tweets and posts from his fans and followers if they sign up for the campaign. He said, "I pledge to respond to each of my followers who sign up to #HeForShe."
