Success for me is not just numbers but the fact that when the world said I was a failure I got back up and survived every blow each day!! That’s why I always say when they say you can’t do is the moment you know you can do it! Don’t let the world put you down don’t let them decide who you are! Explore your talents and don’t be afraid of no one! Audience acceptance is key! I promise you this is just the beginning! Ek baad yaad rakhna uske ghar dair hain andhair nahin! Thank you Madhurita and thank you neha and thank you bombay times !!!!!!”
