She spoke about her best experience and shared, "My best experience was this one time when I was travelling and I was in a very hilly area and it was green everywhere and raining. I had my friends along with me and we saw a small shop where a small family was there. One could make out that they were from a very humble background. So, we had tea and maggi at their shop. I feel it is important to promote small businesses and help them. Also, in the 'pahadi' areas, tea and maggi ka taste hi alag ata hai jab vo log chulhe pe banate hai."
