"However, none of this would have been possible without my family! They have been my inspiration, my strength, my silent support and my "raison d"être". They allowed me the freedom to figure out whatever I needed to without ever pressurising me, burdening me with expectation. They let me know when they didn't like a performance and showered me with love when they did. I am because of them and I hope, some day whey they look back and reminisce they feel proud of me," wrote Abhishek.
