Talking about Margherita With A Straw, she says, "It is Laila's (Kalki Koechlin) coming of age story and there are two women who play a substantial role in inspiring her to become the person she eventually becomes. One is her mother and the other is the character I play. Laila meets me when she comes to study in New York, at a protest rally. I'm among the people firing slogans, and am blind. It's the first time she meets someone who is also differently-abled, but is a person of her own and has a lot of mettle and fire within her. She is completely awe-struck by me and goes through a journey with me to understand how to celebrate herself. My character has a lot of passion and at no point in the film do you see her regretting that she can't see. She just goes out there and lives her life. The movie as a whole, I feel, shows you a great representation of women, also because it is made by Shonali who is a very independent woman herself."
