When she was asked about her personal life whether there was any special person in your life, her simple answer was that I am a normal woman, I can be a good unmarried girl too but I am not like that.

When asked if she now remembers her family for herself, she said that yes, there was a time when I wanted it all, but now when I see so many other married people that they forcefully I am looking for relationships by getting tied in relationships, then I feel good that I am not in any such relationship. And today it hurts me to see the tension between husband and wife, tension for children.

At the same time, while stating the reason for not doing work in his films, he also said that there is no role for me or any kind of sister-in-law or mother. I can't see myself saving someone who doesn't deserve that.
