What’s your biggest learning in life?

You should work in a process oriented manner and not on a result oriented manner, because no one is aware of the result. Sometimes you get it right; and sometimes you don't. It’s a process of trial and error. That’s my biggest learning in the last couple of years. So, enjoy the process, have a good time. I have been doing this for 12 years and have given a large part of my life to movies. I started acting at the age of 21. My film released when I was 23. I’m 34 today. I’ve done this my entire adult life. I’ve given so much to this; I better enjoy it, otherwise, what’s the point?
