What are you most proud of and why? My daughters; they are honest, good and beautiful.
Who is your hero and why? Umm....nobody, really. I’m inspired by my Indian movie heroes, but not really anybody in particular.
Words you live by: When somebody does something to me, I may get mad, but I try not to seek revenge. I’m like, “forget about it – it will come back to them.”
