00:00I think it's a great step, saluting women, like I've been saying, women are multi-faceted

00:15and they deserve much more than awards.

00:16Being a woman, I want to be here and see with my own eyes, and yes, a reason to come to

00:17Dubai, a reason to be a part of Women Empowerment, and that's it.

00:18I'm going to enjoy tonight.

00:19I am very honoured to be a part of this evening, because today we are celebrating Women's

00:34Day and I'm proud to be a woman myself.

00:35What makes me a great woman?

00:36I think I have very strong willpower.

00:37So it feels so good that people, you know, see how much you're working towards, you

00:38know, making women empowerment important.

00:39So I think it's very good.

00:40Well, I think the women, like you say, in my family, I think, most importantly, I think

00:52I've learned the right values from them, the right kind of upbringing that they've given

00:57me and that's something I really hold true to my heart and I'd like to instill in my

01:02kids as well.

01:03I just feel very grateful.

01:04I've always felt that I'm an ordinary person who's been given some very extraordinary chances

01:09by life, by God and I've just worked at it conscientiously and if it's worked out right

01:18and there's something that I've achieved and today I'm being recognised for, it's God's

01:22grace.

01:23I've come for a cause today for Great Women Achiever and I feel great coming for Anu and

01:28Shashi Ranjan who are lovely people.

01:30Because she's a mother, she's a sister, she's a daughter and she's somebody's beautiful

01:34wife and great friend.

01:36So I think a woman is special in all her avatars.

01:39I don't think it's just, I mean, it's not just about women.

01:42I think it's just good that there's an award ceremony to appreciate someone's work.

01:48I know what it's like when you're working on something and you don't know if you're

01:51going in the right direction.

01:53So when you're nominated or you're rewarded for that, it really makes you feel like, well,

01:58I'm doing something right, no matter where you are in your career.
