I'd have probably come to your rescue as a doctor. I come from a middle class family, and there was always a pressure on me to study and attain one of the benchmark degreesu00a0-- MBBS or to become an engineer or an architect.

In fact, every apptitude test I appeared for, strongly recommended that I became a doctor. But as they say, in life you become what you are second best at.

And I was good at writing and had always dreamt of becoming a writer. So may be I was meant to excel as a doctor, but was best at writing and so I ended up here in Bollywood.
