What were the challenges you faced so far?

I was the gym instructor in Bandra and somebody came to me and told me to give auditions. So, while giving auditions I was bullied and I was not able to say a dialogue. Well, after that I decided that I will become an actor only.

So after this how did you begin the journey?

I begin as a theatre artist and since then it was like I never looked back.
