Let me put it this way. I love films and the
'art of acting'. I was always very passionate about acting. My passion for
acting got me into theatre during college days where I underwent extensive
training under eminent theatre guru, Arvind Gaur from Delhi. Thereafter I went
to do many plays with him and India Habitat Center. My performance was highly
appreciated by the veterans in the industry. I realized that theater and acting
and quite different after I did my acting course from Anupam Khers Acting
school- Actor Prepares, where I learnt that you need to be much more suttle and
natural in front of the camera.

take up movies.

BPL, on the other hand has been a huge learning experience and success in both my first

movie, 'The Train', so what is your experience working in a regional film?
Its a wonderful experience and I' am blessed and honored to have debuted with one of the best superstars and actor Mammooty and working with National award winning director Jayaraj.

The experience was challenging but I loved it.

working with him?
It was a great learning experience and it
enriched me as an actor.

Each director and each role is a new journey
and it is a voyage of discovery. Every role is different and for an actor, you
experience new emotions through every role you get and it is a very enriching
journey-where you are learning all the time. My dream is to live several roles
