Mere apne zindagi mein jo mera saarthi hain, woh hain meri maa. Shuruwaat se mere career mein unhone humesha mujhe guide kiya hain, mera saath diya hain. (My mother was the ‘saarthi’ of my life. Since the beginning of my career she had always guided me and supported me.) Kabhi agar koi kuch bol de toh woh humesha kehti thi ki tum jo ho waisi hi raho aur mehnat se kaam karna, sincerity se kaam karna, ek din safalta tumko milegi. (If someone would say something, she would say stay the way you are, work hard and sincerely. You will succeed.) “She has always encouraged me and backed me up. Woh meri spine hain .”
