I told him about my acting journey since then — working in Balaji TV shows, living in London, shooting a commercial, hosting a French reality show, even working at a restaurant near Victoria Bus Station, while continuing to pursue acting. He appreciated my journey, boosted my morale, and encouraged me to never give up on my dream. He gave me his blessings.'
