Aakanksha Singh
Asked if she went through rejections in her long career from TV to films, Aakansha opened up, "Oh I still go through rejections and sometimes I feel demotivated to but it’s a part and parcel of my career and this profession but what I have learnt in these years is to believe in yourself and just work hard This is one thing no one can take away from you... I believe whatever is yours and meant for you it will come to you no matter what and if it is not meant to, how much hard you try you won’t get it I believe luck plays an equal role as hard work.. when people talk about my craft I know that I am on the right path and I’m good so that motivates me to do more good work than sitting and thinking or getting demotivated."
