ANSWER: Dear Brahmakumar, Fame is not a worthwhile goal. Those who seek fame often only achieve notoriety or infamy  No one can tell you if you are going to be successful from an email. You do not say where you live, so I cannot offer any advice in how to get started. God bless, Doc

QUESTION: Pls don't mind Sir,but can u explain ur answer in simple words,pls!!!!!!!!!!I live in Lucknow(Uttar Pradesh,INDIA).

Answer
Fame is a result of public relations  It is a by product of being good at something or having done something newsworthy.  Unfortunately I cannot help you in seeking your career because i do not know anything about the acting business in India.  Best wishes, Doc
