Excerpts from an interview:

How art becomes passion for you?

Becoming an artist was neither my passion, nor my aim. But I use to draw a lot and would enjoy also. And this hobby of drawing I got from my mother. She used to draw and seeing her keen interest in this I also got attracted towards drawing and art. In any case I was never a good student and at one point of time I had left my college. But like the saying goes, destiny plays an important role in one’s life, so things changed for me also. Leaving the college for fear of studies I took admission in Appasaheb Kadadi Chitrakala after my mother’s persuasion. After securing diploma from there I did my foundation course from the same institution.
