"There are no excuses if you are unhappy in a relationship. I am sorry, but I am a 21st-century girl and that's how I feel."
7. Feminism
"I think the world is male-dominated; It's not just about India. I think women have been treated like second-class people, no matter where in the world we go. I think it's a great time for feminism. There are so many people standing up for women's rights."
8. Making Mistakes
"I am hugely flawed, and I like it that way. That’s the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you."
9. Work Ethic
