Meghna Gulzar Says Surname Reverence Should Be Earned, Not Assumed

Meghna Gulzar talked about how people react to her family name.

She said there was a time when she introduced herself only as Meghna.

She sometimes still does this.

Her surname is respected because it is connected with success.

She said this can be helpful because people may forgive mistakes more easily.

But it can also be difficult because people may judge her more harshly.

Meghna said she is proud of her surname.

However, she wants people to judge her based on her own work.

She believes respect should be earned by each person individually.
