Firstly, i think somewhr the topic-maker has been misunderstood! She's not talking about whether Gunjan CAN act or not or whether she's a good actress or not! The point is that Gunjan had no interest watsoever in acting or the film industry!
There are many who can prolly act well if given a chance, but the CHOICE is wat makes the difference between those who get into this path and those who dont.. Sure, Gunjan can be a great actress, but she was never the one who DREAMT about it! It's a great opportunity, but she wasnt into it! It's like telling somebody who has always wanted to be a writer to become a doctor just because she scored full marks in science in her boards! We also hv to look into her english marks, right?
So, for me, Gunjan's acting doesnt make sense coz she never wanted to be an actress i.e. it was NEVER her dream.. But of course, this track's not about her dreams... It's about Neel's need to hv her bk in his lyf... But the way the CVs are going about it seems very weird!
I have a very dear friend, who was crazy about going into medicine - her dearest wish was to become a doctor. She didn't get into medical school, for various reasons, however she did get admission into engineering college, which she didn't want to do - she hated the thought of it. She took it up with the clear understanding with her parents that she would re-apply for medicine the following year.
She stuck to engineering, she met her future husband down the line at college, after graduation they set up a company together, which another few years down the line they sold for an amount that made sure they don't have to work again in their lives.
The point I'm making is that sometimes life gives you opportunities that you
don't dream about ... that you can't imagine for yourself ... it's up to you whether you take those opportunities ... or whether you turn your back on them, saying that those were not your dreams in the first place. And these chances can change your life.
So it's not only about dreams, it's about talent AND about opportunity - the LUCK factor that every actor/actress talks about ... and every successful person, for that matter - the lucky chance of being in the right place at the right time. And of taking advantage of the opportunities that come your way ... Carpe diem ... sieze the moment.
