My reason and inspiration to lose weight and stay fit is my youngest son, Anant, who is fighting obesity. I would like to be an example for him.

Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.

My father-in-law saw me at a dance performance. The next day, I got a phone call, and the caller said, 'I'm Dhirubhai Ambani... may I talk to Nita?' I said, 'It's a wrong number' and put down the phone. Then he called again... and I said, 'If you're Dhirubhai Ambani, then I'm Elizabeth Taylor.'

Education is not a tool for development - individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams.

I believe that children have to grow up as all-round personalities, but it cannot be at the cost of academics.

I like to have everything smiley and happy for my husband. Men don't want to see a grumpy face at the end of a hard day.

I strongly believe in my own rights and wrongs and impose them on myself and my family.
