Irani's message in the video

“I wanted all of you to meet Nisha Yadav... There is something special about her. She is not only a model but also studying law. She has completed her second year of law from Rajasthan university, the third year is on and she’s already working in Delhi,” Irani said in the video.

Asserting how special Yadav is, Irani added that the model cum lawyer walked six kilometers every day to attend school. On the other hand, Yadav explains in the video that her father asked her to leave home when she refused to get married at a young age. Even her sisters, who supported her, were also asked to leave. Later her family accepted their decision, an emotional Yadav said. Talking about her sisters' achievements, Nisha said that her four sisters are doing quite well professionally. While one of her sisters is an IAS officer, another is in the police department. The third one is a software engineer and her fourth sister is a professor.

Drawing conclusions from Nisha and her sisters' life decisions, Irani said, “Iska Matlab betiyon ki shaadi tab jab padhai puri ho, jab balik hon aur jab unki ichcha ho (Daughters should be married only after their education is complete, after they are adults, and when they wish to get married).”

At the end of the one-minute clip, Irani talked about the underlying struggle people go through to prosper in their lives. “There is a story behind many faces. You see the glamour, you see the glory. They also hide a lot of tears,” Smriti said.
