PROFILE:
I started acting since i was a toddler. In school i got many opportunities to participate in inter school
competitions and won many awards for my roles in them. I did plays in Hindi, Marathi and English. I also participated in Elocution and Debates. My language of preference is English or Hindi. I can also speak Marathi and Konkani. I did my 11th & 12th in Dubai and returned to Mumbai to complete my graduation in Mass Media. It was here that the passion I had for Acting and Direction really developed and i started doing a lot of plays and short films. I participated in the Inter collegiate festival OLIO and our play came in second. It was because of my role in OLIO that i got a break to do my first ad and from then on based on referrals and recommendations, I have been doing ads on a regular basis. I also directed a short film - Snatch & Grab that came in second at the Frames film festival. I completed my Bachelors of Mass Media in May 2009 and desire to be an Actor/Director.
Besides acting, I love reading and writing short stories and poems. I also enjoy Rock music and sports. I have had the opportunity to play for club and my school and college team at various sporting events. I am also very passionate about Cars, Bikes and Electronics. I have a varied field of experience which transcends different fields. I have worked in Events as a project supervisor. I also did a short stint as a call centre exec. In Dubai i worked part time in a Garage, releasing insurance and doing bookings. I also worked for a short time in a construction company reading tenders and making proposals.
