After graduating, I began auditioning for films while continuing to model. I did a few fashion shows, ad shoots, and even got a few Bollywood offers, but nothing great.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started modelling while still studying. I liked doing television commercials and being in front of the camera. Lots of ad directors told me to try for films.
I started missing acting when I was in school, and I realized after being in the business after however many years that I was really interested in film.
I went to the U.S. to start my modeling career at a very young age. So, venturing into films and handling the pressure isn't a big task.
As a child, I had no idea that I would end up in the film industry. My ambitions changed from wanting to join the army like my grandfather to taking up merchant navy as a career to running for India, and finally, investment banking while I was a student of economics honour. But during my college days, I began to get offers for modelling.
Selling a movie feels like a hustle to every bone in my body. Many actors have careers dominated by modeling. They're all over the place. It turns me off. People who are good at what they do ought to practice something bigger.
I like doing films and I wish that I could do more but I still have to audition. I don't get offered starring roles in movies even though I've written and starred in a movie.
When I went to L.A., I started modeling, hoping to travel and learn from photographers. It led to auditions to do commercials.
Fashion is really interesting to me, but I'm not a professional model, so I'm focusing my career on acting.
I'm really excited about furthering my film career in Bollywood and Hollywood.
I never thought about acting before I started modeling, but since then I've been in short films and music videos, and I got interested. It felt natural to switch over.
