She also expressed, "I believe that if you are assigned a duty, you should be punctual, which is why I have assumed my duty on time. Everyone, regardless of gender, should be punctual to ensure smooth operations."

I didn't have time to watch the comments on the video. It's election time, and it was my duty to be on time, so I was occupied. The video went viral because of my punctuality and dedication."
