- [My daughter] is not just born to sit at the backseat of her
boyfriend’s bike,
She can ride better than him.
She is not just born to be a toy for anyone’s
lust,
She rule[s] her own body & can decide to
whom [to] give [the] right to touch her body & soul.
She can be bold, badass like Aditi in YJHD,
At the same time she can be sweet &
innocent like Naina in YJHD.
