Gurmeet Choudhary talks about his early days

Among the most popular names in television, Gurmeet Choudhary is slowly making in mark in Bollywood as well. His performance in his debut film 'Khamoshiyaan' was appreciated and he is now busy shooting for his second film 'Wajah Tum Ho'. Having shifted to Mumbai from Jabalpur over a decade ago after deciding to pursue acting, Gurmeet says that while his journey hasn't been easy, he has enjoyed every minute of it.
Speaking to a daily, he said, 'It was my childhood dream to become an actor and I had to keep convincing my dad about it. When I came in 2003, accommodation was a big problem. I was from a middle-class background and had a lot of financial problems. My father had to break a fixed deposit to pay money to an acting institute and also take care of my daily expenses. However, the guys who were with me at the institute thought I was a khandaani rich guy because I looked like that! But when they got to know my status, they helped me out. After the training got over, it was only because of my friends that I could stay for one-and-a-half year in Mumbai.'
