See, no one stands by you when you try to find your place in this industry, thankfully social media gave me that platform where I can connect with the world, find my space and do well in life.

After saying that the actor in me too wants to make it big in the industry. Being trained at the best institute, I want to make the most of my training. My social media projects – be it advertorial or digitorial – helped me buy my own house and do something for my mother. This has given me time and scope to focus back on acting.”

I feel my recently released OTT series Honey Trap Squad earned me a good response and will precisely go into a next season. Also, I have wrapped another untitled series along with a music video.
