"To be on the TED stage was a goal I had for myself, to be able to overcome the fear of speaking out loud. Not by holding 'uncalled for opinions'. I value this stage and people who have been on this stage before, greatest learners have been on this stage," Aashka said in a statement.

"This is not only an opportunity to speak what I have learnt, but also a challenge to accept, simply accept," she added.
