CHANDNI SRIVASTAVA-ARRIVAL AT DELHI

Hi,

My father was then posted to Delhi. Here I tried for some print ads and bagged quite a few by the grace of God in highly reputed and prestigious national and international magazines.

But print ads only did not quench my ever increasing thirst to create my niche in glamour world. This led to several desperate searches and explorations to many production houses, from NCR to Agra, from Himachal Pradesh to Punjab and finally to Mumbai to give auditions and to act. These tough journeys made me to see so many dark sides of life from a safe distance and highly enriched my experience. It made me to draw my own Lakshman rekha in my own interest to safeguard my life and future. It gave me immense capability to see through the apparent veil and understand the real human beings, their intentions, their motives hidden behind.

Success still eluded me. It was so frustrating to sacrifice my present comfortable life, create disturbances and upset the entire schedule of my entire family for months together just in the hope to get some good chance somewhere. I was desperately looking for a ray of hope in darkness all around, but it was nowhere in sight. At certain location I was also compelled to stay in very substandard accommodation without even the basic necessities in the remote villages, leading a miserable life.

Anyway that nightmare ended like a bad dream.Thank God,time keeps passing, all the time!!
