Your unwavering belief in my dreams, especially my acting career, has been the driving force behind my success. I remember when I struggled in academics, you didn’t push me to conform; instead, you encouraged my passion for dance and drama. Your endless support and trust in my abilities helped me discover my true potential. Your guidance, encouragement, and unrelenting support have shaped me into the person I am today. I’m forever grateful for the sacrifices you made. Your legacy lives on through me, and I promise to continue making you proud. Rest in peace, Mom. I love you more than words can express. #HappyBirthdayMom #RIP #ForeverlnMyHeart”
