She said that lifestyle and clothing choices are personal. It cannot be controlled by a particular segment of society or they expect women and religions to behave.

She also stated that such religious discussions limit female students' chances of empowerment. "Let's keep politics out of the classrooms and universities. I'm a married woman, who chooses to use vermilion whenever I want. We have no authority as a society to meddle with women's personal choices," she added.

Such religious talks hinder opportunities for female students. Let's keep politics out of schools & colleges. I'm a married woman, I put vermilion whenever I want, it's a choice. As a society, we've no right to interfere in their personal choice: TRS MLC K Kavitha, on #HijabRow pic.twitter.com/TCPNV3R1Z9
