Talking about her early days of struggle, she said even her father was taunted for supporting his daughter. “For my brother’s education abroad, my mother had to pawn her jewellery and my father invested all his money through me..” she had said. 

When someone told her father, “You should have bought her gold instead,” he replied, ‘gold should be within her, what will she do with gold outside?’
 
Ekta also advised the audience to not let marriage be an obstacle to work because a marriage may end but work will not.  Ekta added that she would like to mentor more girls and women in order to encourage them to find the gold in themselves.
