How has the journey been so far? I started my journey as a model and have been a successful model for quite some time. I have been walking the ramp and have even done television commercials where I have worked with Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif. My modelling days taught me a lot and I can never forget them. And also one can't deny the fact that modelling is good money and one needs that for the struggle in the industry.
How did Television happen? As a creative person one should always look forward, so after doing modelling I was thinking of what next? Then
Ekta Kapoor gave me a chance in
Kyunki Saans Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi where I played the character of Tushar and then later on I had worked in
Kavyanjali and
Kasauti Zindegi Ki - in my both shows I have played Shlok and Shravan respectively and I enjoyed my stint on television. Working on television can gives an actor lots of creativity, one can learn the patience and dedication. Working on a daliy format was quite challenging I must say.
So it was quite obvious for you to shift to films? Yes as I wanted to pursue a career in films for some time. My film journey satrted with Sudhir Mishra's critically acclaimed film
Khoya Khoya Chand where I played the role of a young hero. The movie was based on the film industry. Later on I have done films
Ek, The Power Of One, Fashion and
Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani. In
Fashion though I had a very small appearance as Kangana Ranaut's crazy boyfriend, it had a good impact. In
Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani played the role of Tony Breganza whom Katrina was about to marry. I am happy that the roles which I have done so far are not easy to forget and most importantly the directors with whom I had worked like Sudhir Mishra,
Raj Kumar Santoshi and
Madhur Bhandarkar are all marvelous. I feel blessed to have worked with them.
Your experience in the film Jodi Breakers? Bipasha Basu and Madhavan are great human beings and it was a pleasant experience for me to work with them. For Madhavan I can say he is a selfless actor who never used to give importance to his screen space. He was always worried about the final outcome of any scene. He put in a lot of effort on the quality of a scene. I find this to be a unique quality he has.
