Q: Describe yourself in a few words.
A: I’m a creative person. I am rather emotional and sensitive by nature.

Q: How do you define success?
A: I’m not a money-minded person. Fame is more important for me. Success for me would probably be when I feel that I’m needed by a lot of people. Money does make a lot of difference but I feel that if success comes, money will follow.

Q: Why do you think you can become the Business Baazigar?
A: I think my idea, being for the utility of the masses, is the most practical and viable idea of all. It is on a much larger scale, in terms of its scope, than some of the other ideas. And I know that I have the capability to sell this idea to anybody. It’s my baby and its how I would nurture it that would make it different!
