I have given motivational speeches at IIT and other well-known establishments. I want to appeal to the people, and therefore, I talk from the heart.

All this talk of equality remains merely on paper. In real life, women are still bound by several psychological shackles and emotional boundaries imposed on them by their families and others. If a girl comes home late, she is asked 100 questions, whereas boys are not answerable for anything. And this prevails across segments.

Teaching is a respectful job. Teachers lay the foundation for society.

Maintaining good health should be the primary focus of everyone.

It is the women who bring the men to this world: men are there because of women. It was my mother who brought me out of a health condition that threatened to usurp me completely. If we still treat women with disrespect, it is utterly shameful.

My parents, especially my mother, has been my pillar of strength.

My elder brother is a lecturer in a college in Haryana, and my eldest sister was a teacher. I feel they are more educated than I am. I, too, used to dream of becoming a teacher.

There was a time when I was not able to speak properly because of my medical condition. But I managed to fight against all those odds.

I am a pure vegetarian, and I'm much healthier compared to those who live on a non-veg diet.

The only specialized diet that I follow is home-cooked food.

I am planning to start a K. D. Jadhav Memorial International Championship in which I will have wrestling tournaments all over India. I will make a foundation and, through that, encourage youngsters to participate in sports activities. Jadhavji was my idol, and he inspired people like me to rise above our disabilities and achieve success in life.

More entertainers should come forward to support sports. I'd love to see Akshay Kumar in a film on Indian martial arts.
