Chandrika Ravi Instagram – Everyone said it deserved to be on my feed. I hope my story inspires you to keep going.
Slide 1: my assistant caught this moment of stillness on our way to set last week somewhere in the middle of Tamil Nadu.
Slide 2-4: remember that not all that glitters is gold. Everyone’s fighting a battle you don’t know about; and we usually only choose to share the highlights on social media. Instagram is not real life.
Slide 5: hosting my first radio show in LA. I had only been in LA (my first time in America ever mind you) for about 5 months; but I was so incredibly proud of myself for achieving another “first Indian girl to do..” thing.
Slide 6: on set for a big music video in LA in 2012. Besides acting since the age of 3, I used to always also want to be a video vixen like the women in my favourite R&B videos haha!
Slide 7: somewhere in California, shooting a pilot episode for my first travel reality show in March of 2014.
Slide 8: in August of 2014, a couple of months after I was blindsided with divorce papers. This photo was shot on the floor of my apartment in Hollywood that had no heater or ac. I was skin and bones and I look at this picture and see so much pain in my eyes.
Slide 9: teachers used to tell this little girl even until the age of 17, that my dreams were too big, and fame and success in entertainment doesn’t happen to “people like me”.
Keep going. Have faith. God bless. | Posted on 08/Aug/2024 09:52:11
