While she recently spoke about how her elder brother Mithun Raj, who is an environmentalist with the NGO Samata, has been her pillar of support, she had a strong message for the brothers of the country. She tweeted: "Happy Bhai Dooj :) — boys, take your responsibility seriously — let every girl in this country feel safe all year round & not just today."
