From a Little Girl with Dreams to a Confident Woman

She continued:
“From a little girl with dreams in her eyes to a woman who now believes in herself. I’m proud of how far I’ve come. And I’ll keep making you proud and never ever take any of this for granted. #avikagor #grateful.”

“You all must be thinking what all I am going to say today. I am going to say a lot. 20 years, it was in front of the camera, but the real journey was with you. To reach your heart and stay there. A small girl, a big dream. And the love of all of you which never decreased. From my first shot to every moment till date, you never left my hand.”
She added:
“I was never perfect, but you never considered me less. Thank you. To let a small girl live such a big dream. The silent prayers behind the claps, I feel them every day. Sometimes I cry in a scene. Sometimes I break in real life. But your love is always supporting me. You not only gave me 20 years of success. You gave me 20 years of belongingness. Thank you from my heart. To make me realize that I am visible, audible, and, most importantly, I am yours. And this journey is not yet over. Now I am with you in a new story, in a new color. Always and forever. Because the story is yet to be told.”
