When interviewers said she changed her name, Priy remarked, “I don't think I've ever changed it. Yes, I added my husband's to mine. "
“You know, I wanted to honor tradition, but at the same time I didn't want to give up my identity, you know, and in my opinion this was somewhere in between. I think. I have inherited a beautiful name and hope to bring this legacy to life. And, you know, I just thought it was one of those things you grew up with. I've never felt compelled to do it, it's just something I wanted to do because that's how I grew up. "
“Maybe we have to think that, hopefully, in another 50 years the husbands will be taking our names too, or we just won't change our names, you know, and it will be normal. But I don't think I was at that stage when I got married, I wanted to honor my parents' tradition and that's how it happened. But my identity has been mine for so many years that I didn't want my surname to be lost. "
