On education she said, “This is a competitive world, but we not only need to educate ourselves but also need to educate others too, then only we can develop a good society.”
When asked by Roy about the mantra of success she said’ “Ups and downs are a part of life, life does not stop, so you should not become depressed and spend sleepless nights but start learning from failures and downfall. Life is beautiful and there is a lot to learn, so if there are no downs and no ups then there is no learning.”
The ‘Aakashians of the Year’ were awarded trophies by Jwala Gutta along with J.C. Chowdhury, the MD of Aakash and the faculties amidst a huge roar from the audience.
The event reached its summit with the long awaited performance by popular singer, KK who entertained the young audience with his most popular numbers like ‘Yaaron Dosti’, ‘Bas Ek Pal’ ‘Abhi Abhi’ etc. Vyom 2014 ended with a blast.
