Tomorrow on 24th of October at 10:00 am, they are starting with their new chapter by inducting 40 new Shalinis to embark on their journey of becoming dignified and independent women of today!"

"I am as excited as these young girls and so glad to extend my support and be a part of their lives. Join the induction event of these young girls along with me via Youtube Live LINK IN BIO. I am sure you don't want to miss it!", she added.
