"My mother grew up in a state like Punjab. Rejecting the method of getting married as soon as possible, she made the big decision to come to Maharashtra. He married a Marathi man and settled Mumbai, Maharashtra. She has also worked hard to make my dream come true. Today, I was able to realize my dream, which is why I had the opportunity to test a show like 'Young Dancing Queen'.Women's day is important for all the women out there. On the occasion of Women's Day, efforts can be made to ensure the development of the entire female body along with herself. Everyone should come together and celebrate Women's Day. I will be celebrating this Women's Day this year with the team of film 'Hirkani'. The movie will be shown in several theaters on the occasion of Women's Day." (PC -Instagram)

"There is only one creature which is created by god. We must understand the importance of a woman. Every day should be celebrated on Women's Day. Every day should be special for every woman. Every day, they should get the right hon. The woman is a model in the community. For me, my mother is my ideal woman. Despite being a woman, her achievements are noteworthy. I have the utmost respect for her. This year's Women's Day, I will not miss the opportunity to celebrate with her. I will be celebrating this year's Women's Day with my ideal mother. I am going to take time off from shooting Dr. Don" (PC -Instagram)

"The woman is one of the best creature of God ever made. A day to honor this work of art, that is, Women's Day! I consider myself very fortunate that I have gained the purity of 'woman'. Many women I respect deeply. In this, it is first to mention my mother. For me, she fought many people in the community. She's done sacrifices for me all my life. I am very grateful to her. I don't think it's fair to celebrate Women's Day as a single day of the year. From the stage of 'Young Dancing Queen,' everyone has learned that I have a woman's part. I will continue to strive for the respect and dignity of the woman in me. Now I am going to celebrate Women’s day entire life." (PC -Instagram)

"Currently, I am playing the character of Shanaya in Mazhya Navryachi Bayko who is having an affair with a married man (Gurunath). I know there are women who are seeing their husband's extramarital affair and relationship but couldn't do anything. Now, we are living in an era where we should give it back to the people. I think the only thing I want to tell all women that move on and start a new life. There is really good life is waiting for you. You should not entertain husbands like Gurunath. Just fight back and live your life beautifully". (PC -Instagram) Interview by Vaishnavi Gavankar

"First of all, Happy women's day everyone. I think why we should celebrate just a single day as a Women's day. Every day should be celebrated like a Women's day. A women's contribution should always be celebrated and should be awarded. The way we think, Matrubhumi and mother nature and that women have given us so much to us. Talking about the woman empowerment, I feel there is dust in our thoughts and confidence that you just need to wipe off and you can do everything. You will get to know the power and capability of yourself. I feel there is a lack of confidence in women. Women should feel confident first without Jumping into the gender equation. We should respect every gender. Each gender requires individual freedom. we should take care of each other. " (PC -Instagram)

"Women's Day is a very important day for me. Every day of the year, at least one day, the women are given proper respect, on this day !! Even though I am a woman, I can express my views clearly. I have found that freedom in my business. Of course, my mother goes to the credit of being able to be in this field. My mother has constantly encouraged me to fulfill my dreams, not to give up even in difficult times." (PC -Instagram)
