Ambedkar's teachings that pushed her to join the RPI. "I was influenced by BR Ambedkar's teachings because it says education is not about degrees, but it is about your outlook towards life. And it teaches you to be an independent thinker and I completely agree with him on this," Ghosh told Outlook.On the work front, Payal Ghosh will soon be seen in an upcoming music video titled ‘Pyaar Happens’, sung by Indo-American singer Amar Syal.
