She helped me bring out that talent when I was just around 7 years old as far as I can remember. And she really ensured that I took it seriously and went for every dance class that she had enrolled me in.”

“She would come along with me for all those dance performances I used to participate in, help me carry my props back and fourth, cheer me on and encourage me to go forward and recognize my love for the art, and never give up! Eventually my passion for dance built up and I pursued it further after which my work got recognized. And that was the highlight for my mother! As it was actually her dream which got fulfilled, when she saw me dancing on the big stage!”.
