Actress Shubhaavi Choksey shares her thoughts on Women's Day with mid-day.com

She says, "I was only 23 when I became a woman from a girl in a single moment. I lost her father and had the responsibility of my mother and brother as he is younger to me and was still in college . I had rejected Kyunkii Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi twice before aa I was studying but I had to take it up when it came to me the third time as I knew this would give my family and me monetary stability. The journey of becoming a woman from a girl has been like a roller coaster. Ups and downs sometimes slow sometimes really fast. Butterflies in my stomach many a times I took everything in my stride and luckily I have a family who have and continue to encourage me in each and every step of the way."

Shubhaavi adds, "The most inspirational women are those who give strength to others apart from themselves. They are those who don't put others down when they rise. They are those who are fearless to take up a challenge and even more courageous to admit that they need help if at all required. My grandmother and mother are the women who symbolise strength, truth, discipline , valiance and above all compassion. I hope I have imbibed these in my life."
