What happens when you strip away the fame, the applause, and the expectations? On this episode of The Ramya Show, Ashok Selvan opens up like never before — about jealousy, silent struggles, loneliness in success, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going one more time.

From battling self-doubt to reflecting on friendships that turned cold, Ashok shares the raw truth behind the scenes of his journey — as an actor, as a man, and most importantly, as a human just trying to grow.

🔸 Why did he go silent for 7 days?
🔸 How does he deal with pain, envy, and pressure?
🔸 What does “one more time” really mean to him?

This isn’t just an interview —
It’s a mirror to the inner battles we all fight quietly.

📌 If you’ve ever smiled while hurting… this one’s for you.
