02:12I wasn't able to sing on stage, I was singing, I needed a duet, so I became a choir,

02:20assistant to choir master in Baler Aurora, because I couldn't sing anymore.

02:25I shifted now, since I know I have a passion in singing and performance, I went to acting.

02:31What an inspiring story.
