“Honestly, my preparation was all done by my mom, she was my support system and she said okay we will go and get a nice red saree, a chiffon saree, so I said okay mamma, and then she got this lovely silver earrings and lots of bangles and my mom was my stylist cum designer cum everything, I was just 17 at that time and you were so raw on those days you are really raw, you didn't have so much of preparation and like I said there was no social media preparation to understand where you are heading so it was pretty simple then and confidence was always there, I was blessed with that.”

“I think it was a Little more organic then, not saying it's not organic now but they are very prepared now, we were very raw and very simple and there was no social media, so you didn't know what you were going to do, so you just give out your best and you just went out there and do your makeup, hair and all. There was not so much of technicality and not so much of support system, so yeah there's a lot of support system, training now and they are well prepared, and are well-groomed and they smile, their hair, their clothes everything is provided now. So yeah it's different now.”
