"Light, camera, action."

The shooting started thereafter, as usual. It's the 15th film in Timi's career. Her life is like a movie itself. Coming from a middle class family with no filmy background ever, her journey says quite a lot about her success, confidence and extra-ordinary talent.

"Pack up guys."

Finishing the last shot for the day, Timi got into her car with a tired body and mind. Acting is indeed a tough job, showcasing emotions contrary to the ones one feels.

"Hari uncle, how was your daughter's result?"

"She passed with flying colors madamji. 80%."

Hari uncle does another part time job driving for a transport app when Timi does not have work. Seeing his daughter passing 10th board successfully with such high marks is a matter of great pride for him. She congratulated uncle and happily took sweets from the box offered.

After a hectic schedule, Timi relaxed looking outside the car feeling happy inside. It has been a long journey till now; of struggle, depression, self-esteem and finally success. She murmured something smiling at the bright lights on the road. Life looked pretty to her.

There was a time when Timi survived on just juice and fruits for days. She wasn't born with a silver spoon and she loved that fact, so did her family. According to her people need to earn their respect and follow their destiny. She never lost hope and clung onto her virtues.

"Honesty is the best policy kids, never forget that." Her parents used to remind it to all their kids. Timi's dad Brad Loren has been teaching in a local college for 25 years now. Her mom, Jenny is an artist and still spends time in her studio for hours. It was mother's artsy eyes that provoked Timi to venture into a fine arts degree to progress into her career. She was always a drama queen in childhood. Timi loved to dance and sing. Her singing skills, though not like the best singers in the world, it is quite good actually.
