00:00Nobody talks about it because they're too afraid that if I say something and you know
00:04Then everybody will know and I won't get any work or something
00:07Initially I didn't know how to, I didn't know who was bad when I was young
00:33So that time I had a few bad experiences like even though sometimes my mother would be there
00:40along with me but yet there would be these sleazy men and they would ask for nonsense
00:48stuff like nonsense sort of things to do during an audition
00:56I don't have a plan B because this is the only thing I know like I think I can, this
01:03acting is the only thing I can do the best so right now I don't have any plan B because
01:09I'm going to stick to this
01:16The biggest challenge is to try finding a job and that happens only when you have a
01:23couple of things with you, first is that you have the looks, second is that you're
01:28able to act and third is your networking skills, I mean it all depends on all these three things
01:35and of course a little bit of luck is always important
