Speaking about the role women have played in his life and elaborating on his personal life experiences, Rama Rao said, “We Indian men realise the importance of a women in our life only when we leave our homes and start living alone. That’s how I learnt the kind of work my mother used to do when I left home and started staying on my own.
Women are multi-taskers and work long hours in office and go back home and take care of the family. If we really want society to grow then this reality has to change.”
