Global Achievers He moved to Punjab University as a coordinator. But soon after, he knew that Mayanagri was calling him and, with the support of his parents, moved to Mumbai. There he was on a blank canvas, ready to paint his dreams. This dream started with working in a theatre IPTA. A very few people knew that Aroon Ji worked as an actor in Jaland- har Radio. Aroon says, \"The rule of life is either you work, or you perish.\" Just like your fingers, not all your days are the same. There were times of rejection and extreme humilia- tion, which left him discouraged. His work in Mahabharat as Dhristadyumna and Mahant Dashrath Tripathi in Colors' TV Show Ishq Ka Rang Safed is profoundly valued. “Every great dream begins with a dreamer” Singing was in his genetics as his mother was a folk singer who never had proper training, and the same goes for Aroon. People don't know that he is the voice behind a lot of songs. Ms. Ved Bakshi was Aroon's source of inspiration and hero of his story. She raised him with great values and the capacity to confide in his ability. He is a self-made man who believes old is gold, and old rendi- tions can never fade away. It is a beau- tiful life, so take on the innocence and live life beautifully. OCTOBER, 2020 | 9
