Speaking to Briefly News, LKG had the following to say about her huge win:

"In this industry people like putting women in boxes - that we must just look pretty, smile for the camera and stay in our lane. That when we speak of wanting to make a difference, many times our wishes are ignored. As someone who knows the meaning of struggle, someone who is not afraid to speak my mind, I’ve learnt that we mustn’t allow them to hold us back from harnessing our power."
