Dreams take time, patience, and a lot of faith. For me, being a digital artist in Chennai has never been just about drawing it has been about chasing the impossible and making it real. Looking back at my journey, one dream has carried me for the last six years , meeting Anirudh and presenting my artwork to him.

Where It All Began (2019)
In 2019, I started my drawing journey by sketching a portrait of Anirudh. His music was more than inspiration; it was energy, and I wanted to capture that through my art. Since then, I kept trying to reach him sending my works on Instagram, tagging him, and hoping one day he would see it. That was the beginning of my identity as a digital artist in Chennai.
The Struggle and the Wait
By 2022, my passion had grown stronger. I even moved to Chennai just to find a way to meet him in person. But no matter how hard I tried, things didn’t work out. That phase tested my patience and belief. I questioned myself many times, but then one random person on Instagram told me something I’ll never forget: “Trust the universe and manifest it will definitely happen.”
And that’s exactly what I did.
The First Encounter
Within a week of hearing those words, I finally met Anirudh. It felt like the universe answered my heart’s call. I managed to present a drawing to him, but in that moment, I couldn’t talk much. It was a dream come true, but deep inside, I wished for more I wished for time, a conversation, and a chance to truly express what he meant to me.
A New Dream: Virat, Anirudh & Ronaldo
As years passed, my dreams grew bigger. I wanted to create and present my artworks to three legends who shaped my passion Virat Kohli, Anirudh Ravichander, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
On March 26, 2025, another dream began to unfold. I saw Virat Kohli for the very first time in person. Though I couldn’t get close enough to present my work, that glimpse itself was unforgettable. Later that same day, destiny surprised me again.
The Dream Moment (2025)
That evening, I visited Anirudh’s studio. To my shock, he called me upstairs. My heart raced I knew this was it. For the first time, I spent nearly 10 minutes with Anirudh inside his studio. I showed him all my drawings, he patiently looked through them, signed each one, and even posed for pictures with me. More than that, he listened truly listened as I shared how much he meant to my journey.
That was the real dream moment. Not just giving a drawing, but being able to speak, connect, and be heard. It was six years of manifestation turning into reality.
Looking Ahead
This journey has taught me that art is not just about talent it is about patience, faith, and persistence. As a digital artist in Chennai, I’ve learned that dreams don’t happen overnight, but when they do, they are worth every struggle.
My dream now is to complete the circle one day, to present my artworks personally to Virat Kohli and Cristiano Ronaldo, just like I did with Anirudh. Until then, I’ll keep creating, keep manifesting, and keep trusting the universe.
