September 7, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Pooja Gor, famously known as Pratigya of Star Plus' 'Pratigya', before becoming an actress was aspiring to be a branch manager of Axis Bank and is still, even after pursuing a career in acting, the model turned actor is stuck to her dream to work in Axis Bank one day. Sounds surprising? Read more.

In a recent conversation with Pooja, she says, "Since my childhood, I had a dream to be a branch manager of Axis Bank one day. I always dreamt of working in my separate cabin with a laptop in my hand, with formal dresses. The dream was so intense that after my S.S.C, I took commerce stream and decided to put as much efforts needed for me to reach my goal. But later on I realized that it really takes a lot of effort to be in that position."

The thinking was really not strange as every child has its own dream destination for which they strive. But why Pooja wants to work in Axis Bank and not any other bank was a big question for us and so we asked her to specify "Actually when I was a kid, my parents use to send me to Axis bank to deposit some cheque or to do some other small activities. During that time, I liked the cabin where the branch manager always sits; I fell for the cabin and made a decision that one day I want to be on that chair. So it became my dream which remained unfulfilled."

So will you try to fulfill your dream? "Yes, Of course as the branch manager is my father's friend and he knows me too. So not officially but I will once sit on the chair and at least have a picture clicked in that cabin or else I will take up such role to essay in my future."

Hope the Branch manager of Ahmedabad Axis Bank is listening!
