I have never been to college in real but enjoying it in my reel life: Ankit Gupta

You must be enjoying watching Parth's college life on Beyond Dreams' popular show Sadda Haq on Channel V. But have you ever come to know about Parth aka Ankit Gupta's real life college memories? If not, then let us walk down the memory lane with Ankit Gupta to his college days and see how different was Ankit's college life from his reel college life?

Starting off a conversation with Ankit on this, we learnt that Ankit has never been to college after taking an admission. Ankit says, "On the day of my admission, I just submitted my form, roamed around the campus and had a conversation with the student union and told them and I can't come to college. So, after that I never had any attendance problem. After that the first day when I went to college was on the day of my exam. After taking an admission to the college, I started working. Whenever I was questioned about working so early, I told that I want to live an independent life and I nicely convinced everyone that nothing much happens in a college."

"I always wanted to get into acting so I told my dad that either get me into mass communication or acting school else I won't go to the college. My dad wanted me to do MBA so he enrolled me for that and forcefully sent me for the entrance test. After giving the exam, I threw my roll number somewhere so that nobody will come to know about the result. Then my dad realized that I won't do MBA so he told me that do whatever you want to do; we are neither supporting you nor stopping you, do it on your own. Then, I started with modelling and got good work," adds Ankit.   

When we asked Ankit about the reaction of his parents on his achievement as an actor, he shared, "They are very happy now. My Mom has put up my poster in the house and whenever someone comes, she shows them and says that look he's my son and he comes in Sadda Haq on Channel V.'

Though Ankit has never enjoyed living his college life in real but he is enjoying his reel college moments. Talking about the same, he says, "The college life that I have missed, I am enjoying it through FITE on my show. Every other day I get to know what happens in a college - lectures, leg pulling of friends, fighting, bunking classes, teasing teachers, having chai in canteen and many more such moments. Now I am enjoying everything to the fullest. Ragging has always fascinated me and I always wanted to experience that. Sometimes, I feel it would have been fun if I had gone to college. I could have few memories but I don't have but that's life! I wish that I could have those memories but I have lots of fun while shooting and living those moments. I don't have real experience but I have reel experience."

"Don't start working too early as it's not the age to work. It's the age to have fun. Enjoy every single moment of your life as life is too short. Just create memories because once you will start working, then these are the memories that you will cherish forever," concludes Ankit giving a message to all the youngsters.  

Way to go Ankit!
