Yami's letter

I feel compelled to express my views, in response to countless messs that I have been receiving, for getting 'overlooked' and t being minated for my performance in Bala.

Honestly, winning an award does feel like a strong sense of achievement and confidence. But more than that, a mination in itself, is a mark of ackwledgment, love and respect towards your hard work and talent. Having said that, esteemed jury are some of most ted and senior members of fraternity who have me important contributions in cinema. Hence, I shall respectfully accept ir perspectives.

In end, I just want to say, se are just experiences which make you even more self assured and determined in life. It re-instates your faith, in fact, that you don't need to seek validation for your work or yourself from anyone. kind of love that I have received this year, from industry, critics, media, my talented fellow contemporaries and most importantly YOU - my audience, for always showing unconditional love - selfless support, means world to me and is eugh to boost me to keep working harder.

It doesn't matter where you come from, who you are, just don't ever give up and keep walking ahe. It's a long journey and I am a hustler, for life. :)
