 Talking about her love for the state, Basu said: "Rajasthan's food, dresses and designs are great. We all love Rajasthan. It is full of culture, beauty and I always love to visit the desert state."

On Aircel's 'Save Tiger' campaign, she said that it was cruel that tiger population is dwindling due to alleged poaching. The programme needs  complete support of the government and non-government organisations.
