I always believe that if a person wants then what he can not do. I think if he wants, he can come from anywhere, either from the village and make his mark.

Anushka says,
Because of this, there were times when my mother and I did not speak to each other even though we lived in the same house. When we had to talk, we used to do it on the phone. But they don’t talk face to face. The reason for this is acting. I used to say that I promised that I wouldn’t do anything wrong but this is what I have to do. At that time he was also angry. Sometimes she feels bad about clothes and sometimes about things. Even now they are angry at some things. This is our generation gap.

So as a youth we have to understand that the world is the same for parents.
