I had never acted in my life

I had learnt Kathak for six years from the age of eight and did a foundation course from Kathak Kendra in Delhi. I was not fond of classical dance but today I'm glad my mom made me do it.

I come from a family of working professionals, my dad is a chartered accountant and my mom is a professor. It was difficult to convince them, but I succeeded and they have been very supportive.

My father was posted in Mumbai at the time so I had a home here.

I told my parents that while trying for the acting job, I would simultaneously prepare for my MBA and give my entrance exams.

I did the Lakme Fashion Week and some commercials. I also featured in an ad with Aamir Khan for Samsung Hero Mobile.

I was also preparing for the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test). I cleared that. My parents thought if I don't get a movie, I can go abroad for further studies.

I also did a month-long private theatre workshop.
