After graduating in science from Gurukul Kangri University in Haridwar, Uttarakand, he worked as a chemist in a petrochemical company for a short while.
But boredom set in soon, and he moved to Delhi, where he worked as a watchman. However, after one year there he joined a theatre group and started watching plays, while working as a watchman at an office.
He went to the National School of Drama New Delhi.
After graduating from NSD, he shifted to Mumbai. In 2004, which was one of the worst years of his struggle, he couldn’t pay any rent. He asked an NSD senior if he
could stay with him. The senior allowed him to share his apartment in Goregaon if he was willing to cook meals for him.
He hung out at film studios and shootings but only got stereotypical roles. After moving to Mumbai he tried to get work in television serials, but did not achieve much success. He was largely out of work, and lived in a flat he shared with four other people, and survived by conducting occasional acting workshops. ❞
