This 'Prem Ya Paheli? - Chandrakanta' actor had run away from home!

Actor Ankit Arora, who is seen as Shivdutt in "Prem Ya Paheli? - Chandrakanta" alongside Kritika Kamra and Gaurav Khanna, opened up about having dreams as a singer and running away from home to pursue them!

"I ran away from my home at the age of 16 and have spent hungry nights. Acting just happened and there has been no looking back since then. I agree music has been left behind for the moment. I don't have time for 'riyaaz'. But one day, I hope to do something big on the music scene," Ankit said in a statement.

In the acting field, Ankit prefers doing "fantasy and mythological" shows as it gives the male actors a chance to perform and show their strengths which is not the case with daily soaps.

"Here, besides acting I also get a chance to do lots of stunts. I have learned to do horse riding, sword fighting, etc. Last but not the least it also gives you a great grasp over the Hindi language as well," he added.

Good-luck Ankit!
