All I knew was this was what I wanted to do.
I come from a family of doctors, so I didn’t know how to bring that up except for giving my wish to the universe. I was an ardent (Amitabh) Bachchan fan and I wanted to be in his world of movies. I actually had this fantasy right from the age of four. I wasn’t just picked up while I was walking. How and when did the acting bug bite you? I think this journey is about that, and these people, who are the stars in my sky. You get opportunities of bonding with them on shoots and otherwise and then the whole equation changes. While you are growing up, there are people you look up to, and stars who have been your idols. This book is about those people they are very special to me. I love this place more so for the people I have met in it, the way they have impacted me, and the way I have picked up things from them in the most unassuming ways, and directly as well. It is not just a profession for me It is my calling, my passion. I think everyone has a beautiful journey that one is passionate about.
