When she was asked about the problem which came in her way of social work she says that as a daughter, wife and a mother her role for her family was some how compromised because of the lack of time and her busy schedule. But she handled everything by very positive attitude and considered every problem as a part of her life. She get to know her potential and capabilities and worked towards it. when it comes to her biggest fear as an activist her reply was so authentic, she said "Harmony is a soul of our nation", India is known for its "unity in diversity", so, the unity and the brotherhood of our nation should not get effected by people's bad politics and actions. Politics has its own place in our country but it should not effect our Indian culture in any ways. when asked about the particular thing she is proud of in her work, she said that her ability and her brave nature of speaking up against the atrocity and questioning the government for their wrong actions, all these things make a strong opposition which in her view is a very important thing.

During her studies, the one thing about gandhi ji she likes and admire alot is that mistakes are a part of life and can be done by anyone but accepting the fault and speaking about it courageously is the most bravest thing, she advises everyone to read a book name, ''My Experiment With Truth''. in this book Gandhi ji wrote about his mistakes he did when he was a young student doing law studies in london. He not only write about his mistakes but also corrections and learning. he says that doing mistakes are normal but learning from our mistakes is something we all should do. She likes the concept of ''Satyagraha'', which is a technique of non violent public protest. The main Objective of Satyagraha is to ''eradicate the evil or to reform the opponent''. Her brave and positive nature towards life is something we should must know about her.
