1) How did you start acting/ what made you pursue acting?

Being a doctor by qualification and also an entrepreneur, it is quite an interesting and a rare story how I got into acting hahaha… believe it or not it was a Rs.100 bet with a mate of mine that made me pursue acting…and whilst trying to win this bet I discovered this in-born actor within me which grabbed my attention and developed my interest in this field towards…so here I am being in the industry for over 15 years and still exploring the versatility within me 🙂

What are the best and worst things about acting?

Best part about acting is that one gets to have an insight of different characters, lives and situations that arise other than your own life and you often get to see things from other people’s perspectives. Whereas, the cons of acting in my opinion would be that often you get hit emotionally by a certain character to an extent it reflects within you in your real life.
