'Diamonds are a woman's best friend' has been an age-old saying, but have the women found a new friend? 'Yes', says Seema Kharbanda who was among the first few women who bought the Nirbheek revolver to ensure their safety.

Launched a year after the brutal gangrape of 23-year-old paramedic student 'Nirbhaya' in Delhi, Nirbheek is a .32 bore titanium alloy-based revolver which was built as a tribute to the braveheart.

"I feel safe having the revolver with me. It is like an ornament much better than some jewellery for me. While it's scary to carry a piece of jewellery as you might be robbed, carrying a revolver makes you feel confident. When women can spend so much on jewellery, this should also be treated as important and bought as well," Seema said.
