“I have spent many important years of my life in Delhi and I feel a sense of belonging for the city. A lot of expenditure is incurred on Bollywood awards and other functions.

I’m really proud that this time it is being spent on a sports event,” she said.

“We must all do what we can for the event; there will be problems, but we have to show the spirit,” said the actress. “It is like a wedding, where the whole family gets together to make sure everything is okay, although there is always a sulking uncle somewhere.”

About all the worry around the traffic jams expected during the event, she said, “It is a party, so you have to suffer a bit too.”

Encouraging people to watch the events, she said, “Youngsters should see the endurance of the sportspersons and what they do on the field. We should all go online and buy tickets.”
