He adds, "So, I grew up being fascinated by the works of towering heroes like Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna, Shah Rukh Khan, Anil Kapoor, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan, to name a few! I also wanted to be a big-screen hero. So, I'm living my dream now, and I consider myself extremely fortunate to have created a niche for myself. The industry has been extremely welcoming, and the audience has given me a lot of love. I respect that from the bottom of my heart.”publive-imageHe continues, "The love for the movies is what made me pursue theatre in college. It pulled me to Mumbai, where I tried to make a name, struggled for years, and cried in joy when my films worked. I wouldn't have survived the city or the industry if my love for the movies wasn’t strong enough in my heart and mind. When I look back, I can't help but feel grateful that I grew up in cinema and how my parents pushed me to pursue my dream."
