theatre artists
including me. My career as an actor began in college, which encouraged theatre and arts and that boded very well for me because my background in music drew me to it."
He adds, "I made friends for life and met the love of my life through theatre. I remember commuting from my college in South Bombay to Prithvi Theatre in Juhu. I was mesmerised by the world of theatre and artists giving their all while performing. For quite some time, I had been in the audience just watching performances for the sheer joy it brought me and soon enough the roles reversed and I became a performer. So I always say I am an actor by pure accident and I owe the highs of my journey to theatre."
