What does success mean to you?

Success to me means satisfaction in the work I have done. Satisfaction that my dedication towards art was appreciated by the people and the fact that I was able to reach out to people and touch their hearts with my work. Also, that I was able to help them understand the beauty of my art form.

What works as a stress buster for you?

Dance! Dance ! Dance! I am very happy when I am 24X7 involved with my dance. Besides dancing, I enjoy spending time with my family. Being with my family gives me immense happiness and is my greatest stress buster.

What is your biggest strength?

I feel my greatest strength in life is my family. They stand by me through everything. I also feel my creativity, focus and hard work has helped me reach this far.

God to you is…?

I believe that God lives in the deeds that we do for others. Praying is not merely idolising the gods, but it also means

to convert our prayers into actions.

The only way to serve God is by not harming others and always be willing to help others.

As told to Moumita Chakrabarti
