AANSHUL REVEALS:
BEST MOMENTS:
"He told me a very beautiful thing - he himself got promotion rejected three times in a row. This happened 15-16 years back, and if you look at it I am in the same place others who got promoted in the first cycle people are in. So, it didn’t have as much of any impact anyway”
"He never stopped me from doing anything He always knew that there might be a good reason why I was doing it. In fact, he just knew that I was a gold medalist; that's it. So, that's the type of person he was; he gave me my space. He loved me for whoever I was, whatever I did."
"He rubbed off one personality onto me and my father rubbed off the other and both of them cumulatively. I think whatever good I have is because of those two people. My professors who have been very close to me and my friends whose photos are behind me on the wall - Those people are few of the most important people in my life.”
