She added:"They always found me as a creative person, and assured I have all creative values within me."

Message to the society as a woman:
"I believe women everywhere,in all forms and settings, are the real artists because they are ones who create human minds. They're the ones who have the potential to create good sons, fathers, husbands, families, and lay the foundations of a better society, state and world. So I appeal all woman of the world to use this power to create a wonderful society and work for a better future for the next generation."

"I'd also like to say to children to give respect to their parents because there is nothing more precious than them. It's not a matter whether it is Mother's day or Father's day.Celebrate every day with your parents, and get their praise and prayers. We are very lucky that we have a family system intact in our society.There are many societies in the world that are broken and do not have strong families anymore. Your parents want nothing more than your success and their respect from you".
