Key Takeaways:

 'To be able to express, as I believe, is the most intrinsic need of a human being. Art is one form that I am so happy happened in my life, and if I can help ten more people come out of their shackles and express, I think that's it. I'm very, very happy with what I'm able to give back to society.'

'I really, really wish that when the day comes when my art starts selling for a crore or more, I must be able to share that wealth with the artists who are not able to afford it. That's the only vision that I think I am drawing myself right now, honestly.'

'Why can't a woman be an abstract artist from India at a global international platform, playing with the boldest strokes as bold as it can get?'
