“I believe a dream that doesn’t let you sleep is worth living for. I do not let the opinions of others affect me. If a person praises my work, I humbly thank them and remain grounded. Similarly, if a person criticizes my work, I don’t take it too seriously. It is important to steer clear of feelings that depress you or bring you down. And, I do not give anyone the right to erupt these feelings in me.”

“When I started my acting career, the concept of a casting director did not exist. I would learn poems or stories and act them out for directors during their lunch hour. This constantly kept me in practice and helped me improve my skill as an actor,” he added further.
