I studied in a Gujarati-medium school while my brothers studied English, and I often felt that if I didn’t learn English, I wouldn’t be able to achieve anything in life. Then, but now I understood the value of Gujarati culture. The language and culture brought me here to Cannes. We did not bring here the culture that was there before, and that is why we are here today. The Gujarati language and culture mean everything to me, and I thank them for my journey.’
