But one has to do what it takes to stay in the game and that\u2019s what I did.\u00a0 Moonlighting and juggling different roles and working for less, it only brought me closer to my dream and made me realize that if you crave art that bad, you just have to be at it like a creative addict,&#8221; says\u00a0Shreyas, who did his schooling from\u00a0<\/span>Kennedy High<span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0and thereafter got admission in\u00a0<\/span>Page Academy<span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0in Hyderabad.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While\u00a0at\u00a0boarding school,\u00a0Shreyas\u00a0recalls how he would write letters to his mother Sridevi\u00a0Ayaluri, telling her how much he disliked being\u00a0there. &#8220;I didn\u2019t hold\u00a0back;\u00a0I went on and on about how things could be different if I were back home. But what my mother remembers is how creatively I\u00a0would tell\u00a0that story through the letter,&#8221; says\u00a0Shreyas, who was the second rounder\u00a0at the\u00a0<\/span>Austin Film festival<span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0of both 2019 and 2020 besides receiving several accolades for his work internationally.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">So,\u00a0what advice does\u00a0Shreyas\u00a0have for anyone starting off on a journey? &#8220;If anyone out there is still contemplating to take that first plunge, I say do it. It\u2019s going to be difficult, scary and most likely you will fall.\u00a0 Pick yourself up, do it again and fall again. Falling may not be fun, but it\u2019s just part of the process.
