Lataji is the solar herself, and to match her, one would want to journey to a different planet and discover a solar that is approach larger than our solar. That’s Lataji.

One other Lataji can by no means be born – such an ideal, hardworking, disciplined and God-gifted mixture can by no means be discovered once more.”
