Acting has been my dream and my religion ever since I started understanding cinema. When I was in college, my father wanted me to become a doctor, but I would sneak out every Friday to watch a new film release.

If my father had had his way, I would have probably become a doctor.

But the funny thing is, I can still fulfill his dream if I play the role of a doctor in a film.

And yes, I've also learnt the art of jewellery making, so I think I can consider being a goldsmith one day (laughs).
