Shivam Gupta
There's something about the world of films which has tempted everyone. People are so attracted towards the glitz and glamour of this industry that sometimes they try for years to make a career in it. We all know that making an entry in Bollywood is the most difficult thing unless you possess great skills or have great connections. This is the story of a runaway boy, Shivam Gupta, who made his way into B-Town through a filmy journey of his own and is now a well-reputed casting director.
Hailing from Agra, Shivam belongs to a well-educated family but hated studying himself. During his late teens, he moved to Delhi to live with his sister where he found his love for theatre. His sister furthermore fanned the flame of his love for acting and doing something big. Hence, on being summoned back to Agra after finishing his school/college, he ran away from his house, writing a note to his family that said 'I am going away to be an actor'. Gupta in a candid interview opened up about his journey in the film industry so far.
