Sun Sign: Cancer

I AM Quotient: My confidence. My passion and desire to win. I was asked by the judge, Joy Datta, "What song would you sing to Jackky Bhagnani (judge) if Jackky and you were stranded in the middle of the ocean?" Instead of answering to the point, I asked if he could sing as well. I feel that's what got me here.

Strengths: I constantly try to improve and learn. I believe we learn from the pleasant experiences, but it's the tough times and failures that bring out the best in us as they are opportunities. It doesn't matter from where you began as long as you finish well.

Weakness: My craving for sweets. I cannot do something without knowing what I am doing and at the same time believing in it.
