Right
from childhood I developed a BIG inferiority complex because I was dark.
I had the privilege of being schooled at one of the best convent schools in my locality, despite being born in a middle class family. In fact,
I was one of the darkest in my class and hence the most
"un-preferred" for any on-stage events. And that made me shy away
from getting on the stage, even when I was sure of my capabilities.
I used to
cry and shout at my mother for giving birth to me dark. She was actually fairer
and I used to be jealous of her beauty. But she was a woman of substance. She
always motivated me and instilled great strength in me. Her belief in me made
me realize that i can achieve anything in life and that my abilities are never
connected with my skin colour.
