Oprah once again met thousands of her fans cheering while being introduced by Dutt as a person who is most loved and influential on TV worldwide.

To impress the queen of talk show even more, Dutt started to praise Oprah by saying she has got more integrity compared to country rulers based on current U.S. surveys: that the queen of talk is a total package of being a compassionate and outspoken person when it comes to expressing her beliefs.

The show with Oprah Winfrey has exposed a lot of striking facts involving much of the Indian family values, country's traffic chaos and slums including her nightmare from the past. She also explained why she did not care about finding a partner in life.

The memorable talk with Oprah has left amazing thoughts on millions of television viewers. People from other countries, who have gained access to the TV channel, have also certainly picked incredible ideas from her.

To mention a few, here are three things most outstanding Oprah pointed out regarding India as reported by Nina Rai:

1. A country that is utterly chaotic, at the same time there is a sense of calmness underneath and a flow, with everyone going with the flow. There is genuine respect and a sense of karma.

2. People don't talk religion; they live it in India. Every home big or tiny has an altar at home.

3. There is a sense of family tradition. A country that has no respect for nursing homes, because you take care of your family and you don't put your family into nursing homes.

Oprah also shared her thought about 'God being her Daddy.' It's when the minister preached about the people being God's children that she came into thinking God is her Daddy.

Oprah said "I didn't have a daddy. So I thought Oh! God is my Daddy."
