A SPECIAL DAY: I feel every day is Women's Day but I am glad there's a particular day so we can remember all the important women in our lives and love them more on that day.

SPENDING IT: I don't have any special plans for the most important women in my life: mom (Babita) and sister Lolo (Karisma). I send mom a message almost everyday telling her how much she means to me. I don't think she expects me to pay her back but what she has given me is irreplaceable.

INSPIRATIONS: My mom has been my biggest influence and inspiration as a woman. Then there's my sister Karisma. I have been brought up in an all-women home and have always learnt from mistakes and experiences. All my dos and don'ts in life have been shaped by my mom and sister.

Mom stopped working before marriage because she wasn't fiercely ambitious like Karisma or me. She taught me to be the woman I am today.

As far as Lolo is concerned she is the reason why I joined movies. I have seen her mould herself from being a big star and actress to the most fantastic mom. She's a hands-on professional and mom who wakes up at 6 am to drop her children to school. As a child I always wanted to be like her. I trust her opinion on everything from little things to bigger decisions and relationships. Lolo is the closest to me.

STRENGTH OF A WOMAN: I feel being a woman we should have certain essential qualities ” perseverance, determination; women should be more loving. We should be working women as well as mothers. Though it's good to be strong and not be nervous about anything we shouldn't be too feminist in outlook. We should respect men as well.
