I am you Kolkata, I am one of you. I know your struggle and I know where it hurts. Rejections have crushed me but like you I rise embracing hope, I get defeated every day but like you I am still not defeated. They tell me to be famous, I tell them to be a winner, I am you Kolkata, I am one of you.” Watch the video here…
