Quotes I did not stop picking the right kind of scripts, I did not stop going to circles that I thought are the important ones For me it feels better that way so that it does not feel like it is a band wagon effect where we are all rewarding one performance I wish I could say I had an extra source of income but I didn’t. matter of fact, things got even worse after winning the reality show because I invested a huge chunk of the money in hedge funds and I lost the investment due to the government clamp down. Everyone who goes into this business has to be sure of the reason they are doing it in the first place. It is important to make money but I don’t think that money is everything. It would be silly of me to depend on films alone as my only source of livelihood especially because I know that the industry is not in a place where one or two pay days can cover you for a year.
