Anuj shared that he feels surreal to see his affirmation work like a charm within a span of a year.
Talking about the same, he said, "I am amazed with how manifestation works. I had randomly written in my journal that 'I am working with Zoya and Reema, at the beginning of the year. It happens right, you write down your affirmations and then forget about it. But, by the end of the year, my manifestation actually came true! It still feels surreal".
He further mentioned, "I guess it's a dream come true for every artist to be working on such an intriguing project. Firstly, would like to thank everyone for recognising my work in Pipa, it really means alot and inspires me to work with more passion. I am eternally grateful to Reema for making me part of the family".
