Pop diva Jennifer Lopez believes men are ''much more fragile and sensitive'' than women. The singer said strong and assertive females have to ''tiptoe'' around their male counterparts. "I think as women, we have to do that all the time. We're said to be the more fragile, sensitive gender, but I think the truth is that men are much more fragile and sensitive. And we have to be stronger and more conscious of not hurting fragile egos at times. "So it's a line you do have to tiptoe on all the time - especially as a strong, assertive woman, which can be off-putting to men who are not confident and secure on their own," Lopez told Vanity Fair magazine. Meanwhile, the singer previously admitted it took her a ''long time'' to believe in herself.

"I have a super-solid background and thank f**k for that. My family and my small but very close group of friends just wrapped me up. And I think, without that, it would have been a very different story. I knew I always had somebody there to cuddle me who didn't want anything from me. Ultimately, I didn't want them (the media and paparazzi) to win. The only thing I want to do is make films," she added. The actor

People have right to speak their mind: Ashutosh Rana on Naseeruddin Shah's statement

Bollywood actor Ashutosh Rana Sunday said people have the right to speak their mind in an independent country and there's no need of conducting a "social trial" in such cases. His remarks came two days after veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah's statement on mob violence in the country triggered a controversy. "Everyone has the right to share his/her views. If someone speaks his mind in the country, does that mean there should be a social trial? We should seriously listen to him/her instead, Rana said. If someone is speaking his mind and there is a debate, will it improve the country's economic situation, he said. Shah had Friday said that at many places, the death of a cow is being given more importance than the killing of a policeman.
