Have heard words of admiration from mother about Anna: Kiran Bedi's daughter

Saina Bharucha, the only daughter of Kiran Bedi who is an integral part of Team Anna, has constant prayers on her lips for her mother. 

Bedi is the first woman IAS officer of the country. Known for her integrity and honesty, she took voluntary retirement in 2007. 
Saina, married to writer Ruzbeh, stays in Pune. The couple has a daughter.

Saina said that she is with her mother through her prayers since Day 1 of her fight to strengthen the anti-corruption laws in the country.

“I have grown up seeing my mother going out for night patrolling. There were times when she had to go out at odd hours to tackle violent agitations, strikes etc. As a young girl, I used to often wonder why my mother had to take the lead always,” she said.

However, realising that her mother was the proverbial “destiny’s child”, Saina started rallying behind Kiran Bedi whole-heartedly.   

“Yes there were times when I just broke down. But then my mother told me that she has a calling and she was fulfilling it,” she confided. 

It was this calling which made Saina realize that her mother is not meant for the mundane. “It’s only after great introspection that my mother takes up a cause. She makes statements on astute reasoning. I know my mother will not take any rash or ill-conceived steps ever.”  

Asked about Kiran Bedi’s equation with Anna Hazare, Saina said that the she (Kiran) has the highest regard for the crusader. 

“In the last few months, she worked very closely with Anna on the Jan Lokpal Bill issue. I have heard words of admiration and respect from her about Anna,” Saina stated.
