There comes a moment in every life when the winds change direction, when the soul whispers a new name, not to erase the past, but to honour the journey ahead. In a time of quiet reflection—between the echoes of yesterday and the promises of tomorrow—I found a name waiting for me.”
He added, “A name that feels like home. A name that carries the light of purpose, the strength of presence, and the calm certainty of truth. From this day forth, I step into the world as Dhruv—The steadfast star. A compass for my own becoming. This is not an end, but a beautiful unfolding. The heart behind every story remains the same. The hands that shaped art will still reach for wonder. And together, we will continue to craft moments that move hearts and light up skies. Thank you for walking beside me through every chapter. The best pages are yet to be written. With love and gratitude, Chaitannya, now Dhruv.”
