In a conversation with DU Express, Mahamedhaa shared her experience and said “It has been a very emotional roller coaster ride from the very day I started but the organization, the students of Delhi University have always pondered and bestowed their trust upon me and I have always tried to live up to their expectations. It was difficult of course because I haven’t been grown with a silver spoon on my mouth.I come from a very average family,I am not the one who can flaunt fancy cars so everything I have achieved in my life is through hard work.This award is definitely going to be a payoff to the hard work that I have done in years.”
On asking further about her roadies journey and her experience she said “Roadies was very interesting but one thing that I understood that television is not my cup of tea.I am more of a field person but one thing is that no matter kuch bhi ho when I rome around in University even till date I ever been in roadies 2016 I remember so today we are in 2018 but just when I go to the colleges it is very nice people acknowledging you and remembering you,you are the one social activist from the roadies,so it is interesting.My gang leaders they have been the constant support,they guide me they motivate me.Yes it is interesting.”
