"People can stop me from having a great life only if I let them," grinned Arora, who uses a wheelchair. "And at the moment, I'm really in no mood."

"I've realised that 'normal' is a state of the mind. You are as normal as you believe you are," said Arora who has directed 21 plays in the last four years.
