I feel great. I am one actor that believes in growth not being an option.  I might have started off rusty but that constant believe in myself and the zeal to want to be better and more efficient kept me going.  This is just an extra piece of motivation.  It’s a billion reason to believe that you can achieve greatness.

What are your chances of winning?

I am nominated alongside wonderful talented acts that I respect. I believe we all have equal chances of winning.  I put in my best to my work and I am pretty sure they did same too. Let the best man win.  As for me, I believe nothing is impossible
