Life Changing Experience

Hi there, I am Arsha Kothurkar. You can call me Arsha. I undertook my internship for a duration of four months at Anupam Kher's Actor Prepares - The School for Actors in India.


My experience at Actor Prepares was life-changing and a wonderful one indeed. I gained insights into the film industry, and its standards, and built networks with people in the industry. I gained a lot of technical exposure to pre- and post-production processes, improved my communication skills, and evolved as a responsible individual as well. On the whole, these four months have taught me a lot of things and made me a better version of myself.
