“I was fortunate to get the kind of support and through this platform I hope others get the same kind of help”. In an interview with NDTV’s Barkha Dutt in March, she said that she felt “empty and directionless” and that she would often lock herself in her bathroom or vanity van and cry. “My group and I are working hard to establish the foundation and the symbol launch is a small step in that course”.
