00:00Do you get confused in English when to use this, that, these and those?
00:05So today I will clear your confusion.
00:30I would literally just be on the dinner table and I would start acting.
00:33All of a sudden I would die or I would have some dramatic scene happen to me at the dinner table.
00:39And this was when I was really young. I was under 10 years old.
00:46When I was in 12th standard, actually, I had a teacher who told me, you know,
00:50you can't be an actress because no one wants to see a girl in a wheelchair on stage.
00:55You should think about behind the scenes.
00:58You should direct or, you know, costume design or do something behind the scenes.
01:02And that wasn't what I wanted to do.
01:04But somehow I trusted this teacher's words and I actually gave up acting for a while.
01:19And then a few years ago, there was actually a reality show on TV
01:22called India's Best Sinistarski Coach.
01:24And my sister convinced me that I needed to try for this,
01:27even though I was like, you know, I can't do this.
01:30But we just did it for fun.
01:31And it was mind blowing how I started clearing audition after audition after audition.
01:37And I, you know, made it to the top 75 in the nation.
01:41And it was super exciting.
01:43And that's when I realized again that I can act and people will accept my acting.
01:54I've received comments, like, I've had women who told me that they've left abusive relationships
02:24just watching a TikTok video that I've created.
02:31I actually started having people say, you know, your English is so strong.
02:33Can you teach us English? We really want to learn.
02:36And I'm not an English teacher.
02:38I'm a native English speaker.
02:40So I thought, well, if I can help people, I'll try.
02:43So I started a separate channel to teach English.
02:46And I kind of did it just as a trial to see if it works.
02:50And within one week, I had 100,000 followers on the English channel.
03:02People who are differently abled are just like everyone else.
03:07We can do everything you can do.
03:08It's just we have to do it a different way.
