I have got two sons and they are seven and five and I believe that the most difficult thing in this world is to be a working mother. Being a working mother doesn't give you a chance to be lazy.

I do my work with only one intention: that I have to think different, nothing else matters to me. I don't get involved in any other things.

I have always been a design student and my mind focused on design from a very young age. So, for me, creativity is a very satisfying and motivating process.

I am a very hardworking mother and my kids keep me fit. Also, being a working mother, you are always on the go. You always have too many things to do, so you don't have the chance to be lazy and I think that keeps me fit and motivated.

My kids are my energy. They have a very strong sense of design in them already at this age and they love to see my work, they love to sit with me and see all the houses that I am designing.

Diwali is the period when your house is the cleanest and has a sparkly feel. So, whether it's the upholstery, curtains or paintings, each and every thing needs to be done up, even if it isn't being replaced with something new.
