Priya Bhargav, a wheelchair user, is a beauty pageant winner and motivational speaker.

“We generally find jealousy amongst girls which leads to hatred. People must stop harming each other for the sake of being number one in the illusionary race and hence losing a lot of energy. They waste their potentials which can be used for their own well-being. #MarchForSisterhood brings a concept of togetherness, cooperation and winning together. It relieves every girl from the feeling of being lonely, unwanted or left alone. I believe unity brings more prosperity and harmony. No one is here to stay forever. So why not be together and live life to the fullest”, says Bhargav.
