“Training, be it via theatre or acting school, is a must for this profession like any other job. Destiny cannot work in each one’s favour, you need a footing to sustain or else the industry makes you pack your bags in no time. I have been here for past seven years and seen youngsters landing and leaving.

I do pat my back to have started my career after completing a proper acting course. Maybe that made me survive here and also fetched work on TV, films as well as OTT,” says the UPite.

Chowdhary recently wrapped the shoot for an OTT series in Varanasi, “It was a dream come true to have got a pivotal role in Tigmanshu (Dhulia) sir’s project- Garmi. He’s a brilliant craftsman who knows how to polish his actors to their best capability. I feel playing a role that stands out among an array of able actors will surely be a game changer for me.”
