“Even today, some schools do not have toilets and other necessities. This is the reason why students drop out. The government’s slogan of ‘Beti Padhao Beti Bachao’ has been going on for years, it must become reality now,” she said.
The actress was at the “World Education Summit and Awards 2018” organised here which felicitates India’s leading private and government educational institutions.

The actress on her birthday was asked about how she feels after turning 73, “Just like any other day. I don’t allow myself to think about my age. Fortunately, there is plenty to be done. My days are fuller than I can cope with. And I like it that way.”
