'Believe' that you can be the best, 'Believe' that you will get a job and it will happen, 'Believe' as it is the only thing that is ours..Guard that with your life and do not let anybody ever take that away from you and most importantly don't allow 'yourself' to lose the belief. Your belief in 'yourself' is what will truly drive you and make you who you are and what you are."

"Every successful person has a deep rooted belief in self and that is the real key to success" he added further.

And lastly all the aspiring filmmakers in the audience received a special gift from the eloquent actor when he concluded;

"Hope to work with all of you someday!"
