I met her when I was a student at Barry John Acting School where she was my teacher. I remember she was the one who always motivated me and inspired me to become a good actor on screen. She always used to tell me that I will get a very good show and when I eventually got one she was very happy for me. I have learnt a lot from her. There were times when she scolded me as well but it was for my betterment."
