I used to feel genuinely hurt. I think the second weekend and the eleventh weekend affected me the most, I felt completely low and unmotivated. I knew that whatever Salman sir was telling me was meant to help me grow, but I kept wondering why I wasn’t able to understand it at that moment. Why couldn’t I see what others were seeing? Why was I reacting the way I was? But when you take a step back, calm down, and reflect, you realise that a lot of what is said is actually meant for your own progress. I’ve started working on those things, and I’ll keep improving. So yes, it hurts, but I’ve learned to take it in the right spirit. There was one particular line he said, “I will feel ashamed”, and that struck me like a bullet. Hearing something like that from Salman Khan felt unbearable. I broke down that weekend because of it. Normally, I can handle most things, but that one sentence made me feel like maybe I wasn’t worthy of being there. (Photo: Instagram)
