Talking about the experience Mehta said – “It’s escalating to
say the least. There’s nothing more satisfying when a bunch of teenagers come
up to you after the show and tells they get moved and inspired, click pictures
with you. The feeling can’t be explained. I would feel lucky if I manage to
bring up even one percent of their unique passion to life”.
