‘Acting is in my blood’ is actor Ashish Sonkar’s opening line. And you know that its not a tall claim as he continues, “School and college was all about taking part in dramas and getting due recognition from teachers, family and friends. That’s when I realised that I could only be an actor and nothing else. While I come from a business family, there was absolutely no pressure to join the family business. My family has always been a huge support in whatever I wanted to do.”

At the young age of 15, he was picked up for modelling for Horlicks. That was indeed the turning point in his career courtesy the hoardings all over Mumbai with his face plastered on it. He was also adjudged the 2^nd winner of the show and represented the Mumbai model. And as the cliché goes, he never had to look back.
