Quotes
This industry is for fighters and those who do not give up! It is very important to believe in yourself. Even when a hundred people rejected me, I did not lose hope and finally one of the biggest directors of all times (Danny Boyle) believed in me! Also working in this film (Slumdog Millionaire) has taught me a lot, not just in terms of acting but also about myself, which is an integral part of being a good actor!
