She believes that had Muskaan shared her problems with her parents, she wouldn't have chosen the wrong path. In a conversation with news agency ANI, Kavita said, "I want to tell all the children out there that never hide anything from your parents. My child has committed a big mistake. I used to ask her continuously what the problem was, but she kept losing weight; she had lost 10 kg in 2 years. She hid a lot of things from us and that's why she is in jail today. We have no idea if she was brainwashed or did drugs...had she shared something with us, she wouldn't have been in this condition..."
