So, You think I have a hope to be successful?
Of Course, Yes!
Dear actor,
The storms in your life
Will be followed by rainbows
For every time you've been down
There are times when you
Will shine and glow
From every mistake that you've made
You will learn and you will grow
It's just a process we all go through
And something we have to undergo
So do not waste your time
Going against your problems
Just be like water and flow
We are all just spiritual beings
Having a human experience.....
"When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will walk safely and successfully"
Come join and be with me. I will make you a successful actor
-Kiran Pande, your acting coach
