"It's been crazy. People have not stopped calling since we arrived home. We've not stopped to rest for one minute," Pawar told the Daily Mail. I love seeing my family get the respect they deserve. I would not have done any of this without their support. Nobody has treated us like we're a poor family or live in a slum during this journey. I can only hope it continues and my family are treated well wherever they go."
