Here's full te:

"2 seconds of fame"
This phrase got me thinking today. Coming from a tier 2 city and belonging to a humble background, I h fancy education to show for myself. I entered television industry in year 2004 with a show called Zee Cine Star Ke Khoj. But my real journey began in 2009 with show "PAVITRA RISHTA" which went on till 2014. I would be doing an injustice if I don't mention that it was among one of best shows for 6 consecutive years with highest GEC TRP on television till date.

Fame is only a byproduct of love and warmth that an actor receives from masses. Along with all viewers, I, too still feel connected to character of "ARCHANA". Both, my fate and people have been kind eugh to me shower ir blessings and love upon me. aspiration of an actor trying to portray as many different roles and characters as possible, led me to explore. Luckily, I got opportunity to work in Manikarnika as well as Baghi 3.

To conclude, I have been an ACTOR in Television & Bollywood for past 17 years & w, when I am trying to support justice for my late friend, a view has been expressed that I am seeking JUSTICE because I need 2 seconds of fame and cheap publicity! I cant fathom as to why any person would take such a stand.

Is it because I have worked mostly on television and t in Bollywood?

Is that why you would take a stand for person with whom you have h a relationship for almost a dece?

Stop looking down on we television actors, if that was your reason for describing my words as 'GROTESQUE' .

It takes an equal amount of hard work and dedication for actors in television industry as it would take in Bollywood.

I am proud to be a television actor.

And if t for anything, I shall always raise my voice for people I love and care about.
