We are all human beings at the end.” She also shared more details about the wedding “It was such a beautiful interfaith wedding. We did her chooda ceremony. She wore her chooda on her gown. I gave her away, I walked her down the aisle, that was another breaking of taboo. The mangalsutra was tied after the vows were taken. And sindoor was put in the church so it was a correct mix of how it should be,” she shared.

She shared about the bonding with her daughters, “It’s a lifetime commitment and there are relationships, there are bonds and there’s love and there’s emotion and there’s everything that’s involved so yes there is a bond that we all share. They are the older siblings to my younger ones.”
