He added, "So this is what it means to be truly powerful. #MondayMotivaton"In the BBC news video that Mahindra shared, 91-year-old Lakshmi is seen narrating her story of how she started working when she was 67, after her husband's death.

Lakshmi said in the video that she wanted to be a doctor and tend to the sick, however, the restrictions on girls during those times barred her from pursuing her goals. She also said that she loves the independence girls are getting nowadays.
