So from that time, I picked up some modeling projects. I then asked my family if I could try something in this line. so my family was very clear that modeling is not enough in the long run, so try acting. I wanted to be an actor but I didn't have any idea how to audition for things. So after completing my BTech, I decided to give it a try."

He further added, "So initially I did theatre because I realised if you want to be an actor, you need to learn that art from, do theatre. Because if you are going to auditions, you can't be bad at it and people will judge you. So from day 1, I realized it is a very hardworking journey. Because you get fewer chances to audition and if you don't do good in even that then people will judge you. They would give you a tag of non-actor. I hustled and worked hard to learn this craft. After 4 years, I got my first web series Chutzpah and then after this, I got some great auditions and then got Vedaa."
