“It might sound a bit clichéd, but I didn’t really set out to become an actor. Circumstantially, because of my financial condition, I was on the lookout for a lucrative profession that was also interesting to do. So I started modelling, and side-by-side, began auditioning for television (at that time, films didn’t accept outsiders at all). One thing led to another, and I went on to work in some successful TV shows. About three years ago, I took a break from TV, to look at the kind of films I’d want to do. I started re-working on my craft and rethinking the kind of content I wanted to be associated with. That clarity made me fall in love with acting all over again! Now, I want to be recognised for some really good work. When not working, there’s not much to me, really...I’m a chilled guy, a semi-loner, who enjoys time at home. And I don’t take life too seriously. Often, people assume that I am a confident person, but the truth is that I am extremely shy. I am only comfortable with people I know really well, otherwise it takes me a while to open up!”
