VIDUR Acting Institute BANNER – Training Students Since 1990
NO LIES , ONLY TRUTH
—————————————————
Companies have tradition of publishing Annual Progress Reports for their share – holders . Acting Institutes have no such tradition . Not even one acting institute of the world has done it ever .
Acting Institutes have only brochures . But brochures are published in bulk and very often they carry old information . Therefore I decided to establish VIDUR Club and publish Newsletter [ Internet Version ] / Booklet of Achievements [ Print Version ] of the previous year for the perusal of our past , present and would be students , friends & well-wishers , who reside in the 158 countries of the world .
When some upstart acting trainers revel in deception , it is prudent to become upright in dealings . When some upstart acting trainers revel in dishing out false data , it is advisable to come out with true facts & figures . When some upstart acting trainers revel in preposterous claims to lure and hoodwink gullible students , it is ethical and natural to remain transparent .
LET TRUTH PREVAIL

I hope this Newsletter will make matter easier for my past , present & future students as well as friends & well-wishers , who reside in 158 countries of the world . I have tried to make my point clear . For the hard copy [ Booklet of Achievements ] , you can contact my office in Mumbai . You can either collect it personally or it will be sent to you by courier .
I am not basking in the past glory . I am not listing shared legacy as my own . I am not resting on the previous laurels . Even after 23 years of continuous work and training artistes uninterruptedly , my journey has not reached saturation point . It continues unabated . It marches ahead vigorously . It still strives for excellence .
For me :
The past is a springboard , not a hammock ………….
The voyage has just started …………………………………
The saga still continues ………………………….
And Yes :
Dust has now started settling down …………………
Insignia of BRAND VIDUR
With this copy of VIDUR Club Newsletter – [ 3 ] , I make myself accountable to one and all and voluntarily submit myself even for legal scrutiny .
