Actor

To tell you, what I think of acting, here’s a story. During my graduation, I joined dramatic society of my College and got a chance to enact the lead role in a play. As this was my first encounter with acting and I didn’t have any idea about it, soon got kicked out of the role and ended up just being a part of chorus. Moral of the story, I wasn’t a born actor, didn’t seem to have an instinct or natural talent for acting. It just that I worked hard on it and acquired the required skill to act. That’s why I believe “actors are not born, they are made.”
When somebody asks me, what is being successful? I always say…

“If you are doing what you love to do, then you are already successful”.
