There lived a little girl with her parents. Because she was their only child so they loved her more than anything else. They named her Pari. She was a short, chubby girl. She was the fattest in her class. Everyone in her class used to make fun of her . She felt bad but never said anything to anyone.

One day, their teacher asked all the students that what would they want to become when they grow old. On her chance, Pari said that she dreams of becoming an actress. Everyone laughed at her. That incident broke her heart .

When she went home, her parents asked her about her sadness. She told them everything. His father gave her a smile and told her his own story.

Her father: You know my princess, when I was of your age, I wanted to become a boxer and I am a very successful one today. Do you think it was easy? It wasn't. As a teen, I started practicing . I used to practice all day long after school . But then my eyes got weaker and I started wearing spectacles. After that everyone made fun of me. I wanted to quit boxing. But you see I didn't. I was all alone. No one helped me. Not even my parents supported me. I lost all hope. I lost my confidence and so, I left my practice and thus my dreams too.

This went for a few days. But deep inside me I wasn't happy. I decided to continue my boxing. People still had a lot to say and I decided to ignore them. The more they say ,the more I started to chase my dreams. I kept on practicing and didn't leave even a single opportunity that came my way.

I am so thankful to God to make me believe in myself and made me stand where I am today. My daughter, not many people know my story, my past and my sufferings and hard work. I just want to let you know that your mother and I are always here with you, for you. Promise me to not just follow your dreams, chase them.

Listening to this, there was sparkle in Pari's eyes and she was proud of her dad . She told him that she will continue to do the same and will never let her parents down. After that day, she started working hard and ignored all the bad comments.

Years later, she got an opportunity and after that, she was unstoppable.

It was the day when she got the Best Actress Award. She told her story to the whole world.
