An arduous struggle
I had a happy childhood. But in my growing years, I had to come to terms with my family problems owing to dad’s business suffering losses. In a bid to help him out, I joined his garments shop at Karol Bagh, Delhi. By God’s grace, the business picked up and things were smooth sailing from there. Yet, I felt a void within me. I had done theatre while studying. Suddenly, it struck me that I should try acting as a profession. I informed my mom about my decision and came to Mumbai. As luck would have it, I went for an audition and got selected for the show. That I had bagged the lead role was something I learnt only after two months.
