Why do you stand for what is right?
Pratigya is a very strong woman. My attitude is of someone who fights for what is true. I think it is the quality which makes me stand out as a person. I have to fight for justice!
Obviously it's not easy, so how do you overcome the obstacles you face?
I have to face lots of problems. Especially, since I am a married woman, most of my problems revolve around my in-laws. I can't let social issues just go by. When something is wrong, I ensure that my point is very clear to everyone around.
What does it take to change the way society thinks?
It's a very difficult thing because you are one person against the whole society. First and foremost, you have to deeply believe in yourself. Only then can you make society understand what is true. You have to do your best to prove what you think is right.
