Evolved Me: 1) I thank them for giving me a perspective. 2) I respect them for being so passionate about something to fight for. 3) My belief in Karma is further reinstated as the result of good deeds is generally positive. 4) I wake up matured with more experiences. So LET'S NACHO #ThankYou.” She further added a disclaimer that read, “This is for finding myself in centre of a 'few confusions' since a week. Got baffled by consecutive events but wanted to share how self evolving it can be.” (Pic: Instagram)

Honestly, trust me it’s been much more difficult. I can’t talk about other people, I can talk about myself. Because I am so and so’s son, people think that this guy was born with a silver spoon and he has got a lot of work. So why to help someone who’s already so privileged. Let’s give someone else a chance and that has worked against me for so many years. I’ve been rejected by people even before they have heard me singing.
