This is work for us and I think that is a good thing which has come about. So whether it is your sister Lolo or me, Kajol, Manisha or Tabu, whoever from our age group, they are still doing such phenomenal work.”

She further added, “I think right now is a great time. especially, for you guys, five years down the line, you will see an even better time.” The actress also talked about being relevant on social media and said that she likes to keep herself away from it.
