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.
