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.
