Any tips for young and aspiring artistes?

I think if you practice anything, the more you do something, the better you get at it. It is all about taking time and going through the same routine again and again, even if it gets monotonous. There are not many people who are willing to do the same routine over and over again. But consistency is key. So if you can manage that, then anything is possible.

The actor will next be seen in Munna Michael and Student Of The Year 2.
