'Women Have Always Been My Safe Space'
Akanksha shared that she has always found comfort and emotional security in the company of women. She said, "Mujhe ladkiya pasand hain. Main admire karti hoon, main attract hoti hoon unke taraf. I think mera woh safe space hain. Growing up, mujhe lagta hain ki its a very male-dominated world toh humesha aap mummy, beheno ke taraf jaate ho… kahi na kahi jo comfort zone unse milta hain. I love that feminine energy, I love that comfort and thrive in that." [I like girls. I admire them, I'm attracted towards them. I think they are my safe space. Growing up, I felt it's a very male-dominated world, so you always turn to your mother and sisters... somewhere, the comfort you get from them is different. I love that feminine energy, I love that comfort, and I thrive in that.]
She further added, "Aise society mein rehte hain jaha log bolte hain ki ladkiya dost nahi rah sakti jealousy hota hain ya competition hota hain. Mere mein woh sab nahi tha, mere liye all females are beautiful. It's a tag that society has given, for me it's pure love." [We live in a society where people say girls can't be friends because there's jealousy or competition between them. I never felt that. For me, all females are beautiful. It's a tag that society has given, but for me, it's pure love.]
