Please tell us about your growing up days. What was your dream career in your childhood days?
I’m born and based in Mumbai. I also did my schooling in Mumbai, so Mumbai is very special to me. My dream career has always been acting. I remember I was very little in my second standard when my mom used to take me for auditions. Acting has always been a dream career.
Were there any kind of apprehensions entering the field of cinema? When and how did the journey towards being an actor happen?
There was no such kind of fear as I always wanted to be an actor, so I’m very grateful that I started my journey with Dileesh Pothan, Rajeev Ravi and Fahadh Faasil. My first director was Dileesh Pothan and my first DOP was Rajeev Ravi and both of them were such wonderful people. I auditioned for that character and the director was skeptical as my Malayalam was not so fluent then as I’m born and brought up in Mumbai. I remember he asked me when we first met – You’re not a Malayali and I replied to him no sir I am but it’s not fluent yet. But I worked on it and the film did well. I’m so glad that it all went so well.
