Contextualise yourself in a line.
I am the Sod who’s always trying to fit in.
Why do you do what you do?
Because despite all, it makes ME really happy.
First memory of performing?
Fourth grade. At a school fancy dress function. I was supposed to walk one round as a king and that was to be it. I remember I improvised. I stopped by my most favorite teacher and raised my arm with a sword, and asked her to come with me to live in my palace and be my queen. People broke into a rapturous laughter but she smiled and patted my head. She saw the honesty in my eyes. I carried on walking. I felt that she saw the king’s diligence in me.
First job ever?
A private teacher/tutor. Teaching English to a batch of school kids for their board exam when I was still studying to finish my Bachelor’s in Eng Literature.
Stage first or screen first?
Of course stage! That’s where it all started.
The best thing about being an actor.
