This decision of making conscious choices for herself tuned her character into respecting everyone and their choices.

On equality

“In the world, we live in, where we say we need equality, we don't think highly of ourselves. We don't give much importance to ourselves. We are cheerleaders of equality, but how much do we believe in it? Because if you do, then you will be the voice of change,”

A fine example of speaking her mind and being an advocate of equality. Kubbra has spoken on various platforms about her firm belief in equality on both the professional and personal front.
