After a month came across other ad. Learn acting and get paid, so I left this and went for that and once I got into it, there I did around 75 street plays. I love learning new things, so one day I was thinking what more can I do in acting. Then I came to Mumbai and joined BharatiyaVidyabhavan for 1 year course in acting.
