The multi-talented actress who bagged a degree in Drama and Performance from the prestigious university in 2009, took to her social media page to share a snippet, where she teased to be addressed as doctor Su henceforth.
In a video released via her verified Instagram account, the actress spoke about her journey in the movie industry and her achievements. She and wrote;
My experience at Wolverhampton was literally life-changing. It is the foundation upon which my career has been built. When I enrolled for my course in 2006, I was not confident at all. There is silent confidence that comes as a result of being informed and knowledgeable.
I was taught to believe in my natural abilities but also put those abilities to good use. I was taught that talent is great but you need to be hard working to achieve it. This award is very humbling for me and I hope that it inspires prospective and current students to pursue careers in the creative industry.
