They may think that you cannot achieve something you want but if you keep at it, one day you will excel and they will see that too," said Avani Lekhara as per an official release. Taking forward the programme with various interesting anecdotes, videos and questions with the students, 20-year old Avani shared her childhood memories related to diet, her fitness routine and academics.
