When television became popular, reality shows started coming up and with such reality shows, people got a platform to show their talent.

Growing up, I spent a lot of time in the darkened theatres.

I used to assist my chachaji in his artificial jewellery business. One day, I got the opportunity to visit V. Shantaram's film set to supply some jewellery. Curiosity got the better of me and before I knew it, I was playing an extra. Soon, roles with dialogues followed and the rest as they say, is history.

For me, there is no specific place which I need to go to pray since I believe in one god.

My family pride is something inconceivable. I can't help it. I was born sneering.

I coach soccer, and my wife and I are very involved in our kids' lives. Our family is busy with doctor appointments, soccer practice, school, work, travel, vacation... life.

I came from a family that loved what they did every day, and they never stopped.

I was an only child. Both my parents came from working-class families in Hackney, east London.
