The young achiever has also been a passionate environmentalist. This prompted him to try his luck at the Students on Ice Arctic Expedition in 2016. He received a $12,000 scholarship from the United States embassy to take part in the expedition.
In today’s world as more and more women are taking up leadership roles, here’s one South Asian woman whose success story is an inspiration to many.
“The name Kaur is an equalizer; enabling Sikh women to be able to identify themselves without their fathers or husbands,” says Jessie Kaur Lehail, a writer, story-teller, feminist and the proud co-founder of Kaur Project.
A former criminal defence lawyer, it was Dhaliwal’s profession that led him onto the path of a political career.
Cinema had left an imprint on Sarin quite early in his life. “I love the idea of how [the] magic of cinema affects people. We all know it’s artificial, we all know he’s (actor) not dying there and yet, we are moved by that,” he explains with amazement.
In a way, this deep sense of nostalgia was a motivating force behind Irani’s major characters and plots and Bombay was where the inspiration streamed in from.
