Bembem agrees and points out that the league would be a commercial success, if this scenario unfolds.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Meanwhile, she has already fantasized about her favorite franchisee.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"I would love to be a part of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aishwarya_Rai_Bachchan" target="_blank">Aishwarya Rai Bachchan</a>'s franchisee, if that is possible"</p> <p style="text-align: justify">With the AIFF proposing the league to start somewhere in mid 2015, Bembem remains optimistic and hopes that the highly anticipated league, commences soon.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The league is expected to rocket Indian Women's football to a national level and provide a solid framework for it's running.</p>
