What If...

If I had not got into acting, I would have probably completed my MBA and opened up a business of my own.

As a kid, I had always wanted to open up an ice-cream parlour so that I can eat howmuchever ice-cream I want. When I saw Top Gun movie I wanted to be a fighter pilot, but when I got number to my eyes, that dream was also shattered as there was no laser treatment that time. After that my uncle once took me to race-cart and I fell in love with it and I do it now.

Actually I do everything unplanned because whenever I plan, it never works. Even modeling happened all of a sudden.

While I was in college I used to do plays and once I had gone out for a performance representing the college. It was that time Levis Jeans was getting launched in India and was searching for a model. When they saw me, they asked whether I could do it and I just gave a nod. Frankly, I think they were actually looking for a free to work model (laughs). But it was fun shooting at odd locations with seven to eight people.

My parents were actually worried about me and my career because our situation at that time was really not that well. And at certain times it would be from hand to mouth. They used to work nearly 14 hours a day so that I could get a better education. They have sacrificed a lot for me. But today they are happy with what I am today and their prayers have been answered.

Today I guess I can really open up an ice-cream parlour.
