One press conference organized by the NGO 'Pearl Wave'.
The poor organizers readily arranged for a car to pick her up from where she was stranded mid-way but she refused their offer and preferred to hop onto a rickshaw instead and reached the venue bang on time in it.
“Education is the most important thing for an individual - not just formal education acquired at schools and colleges. Even if you teach someone to be self-reliant by teaching them a skill — like sewing or crafting, it is enough. But yes, sending a girl to school is the best possible thing to do. And if you can’t, then at least teach her a way to fend for herself.”
“Being a known face is, definitely, a plus point. As actors, we have a fan following and if you can put that to good use to garner support for a cause, then why not? In fact, I think more public figures should be out there, standing up for causes they believe in.”
