Recalling the differences she faced at home, Mallika shared that she did not like the way she was treated at home her and the way her family differentiated her from her brother. “I questioned it all — these norms that patriarchy has set to control women and this is because very early on in life, I read Vivekananda. So, I started questioning. I didn’t find the answers and didn’t like the answers so I ran away," she said.
