Tibetans in Diaspora EP 110 / FT: Chungdak | interview 202 | Stories of Tibetans

Описание: Lost parents, but never lost love—nurtured by siblings, fueled by dreams."

“I lost my parents at a very young age, but I've never truly felt like an orphan. My brothers and sisters stepped in and filled the roles of my parents with such love and care that when I was little, I used to call them Ama and Pala. Their affection and support have always helped me grow and continue dreaming.”
“There were moments, especially when I was younger, when I felt shy talking about my parents. Other children my age would sometimes tease me about not having parents, so I often avoided conversations about them. But that’s no longer the case. Thanks to the unwavering support of my brothers and sisters, I now feel confident and proud of the family I have. They are, in every sense, my parents.”
“I've always dreamed of becoming an actress, and one of my biggest idols is Dalla Tenzin la. He's so down-to-earth and humble, and I’ve always admired seeing him on the big screen. During my university days, my friends and I even made a few short films during the lockdown when there wasn’t much else to do. However, I'm now a bit uncertain about pursuing acting as a career. Initially, I was drawn to Bollywood, but as I learned more, I became aware of the darker sides of the entertainment industry. Still, I haven't given up on my dream entirely—I'm just taking my time to think it through.”
“For now, I’m creating content for restaurants and cafes to help them with promotion. I spend hours working on these projects, and it's something I genuinely enjoy.”
“My greatest concern is how I can repay the kindness of my brothers and sisters, who have taken care of me as if I were their own child. I want to be successful one day, so I can show them how much their love means to me.”
