Tedx talk_Neha Maria Joshy, Maths
The tedx talk I chose was that of a south Indian actress Aiswarya Rajesh. She talks about the difficulties that she overcame to reach where she is today . She is truly an inspiration to all of us because of the way she rose above all difficulties. Born to a poor family ,she and her family faced lots of troubles. But the real struggle began when her father and elder brother died one after the other. Instead of being depressed , she started to search for part time jobs.
The actress says that her first job was to promote a brand outside a mall. But then she found that TV serials offered higher wages and hence started to work as an actress. She also says that the discrimination in film industry is real ; and female actors are mostly hired for their fair skin than for talent. She was openly rejected several times because of her dark skin . From her life we can see that discrimination based on skin color still exist . There might be several others who faced the same but chose to be silent...but she spoke for herself. When other actors rejected a mother role, she accepted it which later gave her a state award.
Through her life she portrays the moral of believing in yourself, no matter what others say. Even when her road was full of thorns, she still ran. She concludes by encouraging the listeners not to give up in life.
