How does it feel to be a digital star?
All of my future projects were pushed back as a result of Covid. I had no idea what to do. I was randomly scrolling through Instagram reels. One day I thought of making reels for my own entertainment, and thus my journey into content creation began. The audience began to love me and I received a positive response. So I decided to be more consistent, and I began to achieve many milestones that I had not anticipated. The support I get from my fans motivates me to work even harder, which is wonderful.
How is life after becoming an internet sensation?
Life is simple as well as challenging. It’s challenging because you have to constantly produce content that people will enjoy and value. The best part of being a creator is that I get to come up with so many different ideas to turn into videos. Being a creator requires you have to stay consistent with posting and other things.
How did you bag your first film “Brahmastra”?
I was enrolling in acting classes and giving numerous auditions when Dharma Productions called to offer me a cameo in the movie Brahmastra. I went there, showed up for the audition, and was given the part. Working with well-known actors like Shri Amitabh Bachchan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt was a magical experience.
How was your experience working with the Brahmastra team?
Working with Dharma was a wonderful experience for me. The greatest actors in the business, Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Shri Amitabh Bacchan, gave me the opportunity to work with them. I learnt many valuable lessons from the experience.
Any dream role or any actor with whom you want to work in the future?
Even in my wildest dreams, I could never have imagined that I would work with such prominent Bollywood megastars. I would love to collaborate with Ranveer Singh if I ever have the chance to do so in Bollywood.
Who do you idolize in life?
Nawazuddin Siddiqui sir is one person I have always idolized and will continue to do so. Although I haven’t had the opportunity to collaborate with him yet, I would dearly love to do so in the future if I ever get a chance.
What is next in the pipeline?
My future goals include enhancing my acting skills, building a following on YouTube for my vlogging, and producing more engaging content for my audience.
How do you keep yourself updated as a performer?
As a performer, I regularly polish my abilities, take in information that supports my concepts, and take in content from people and events that I observe.
Any final message
There is no substitute for hard work, so believe in yourself and keep working.
