High point in life
Getting introduced to Mira Nair and auditioning for A Suitable Boy. After multiple rounds and workshops, she called to say, “You are my Lata!”
Low point in life
Acouple of years ago, a few of my friends and siblings were moving out of the country, while I was still just ‘here’ and I was not sure if I was making the right decision. I felt left out and started filling out forms for various courses abroad. Glad I didn’t move.
