identity for herself and never let the shadow of her husband overwhelm her.

ST: What according to you is โwomen empowermentโ?
Manbir: The only person which can empower you is the one in
the mirror. Women need to realise the power within themselves, they need to tap
into their own potential and that itself is empowerment to me. No one
externally can help unless they are ready to dream and work hard for their
dreams.

Manbir: The biggest challenge is that women deprioritize
