He comes from an Army background, since his father and brother are both in the Army So making a serial on the Army fascinated him. He even shot a pilot for Star Plus that was rejected and that resulted in a huge loss.
He had to sell his car to come down to Mumbai. He was then told by friends to try his hand at modelling. Initially he failed at auditions until he got his first small ad for Crystal Combs. He then began to get many ads and was financially comfortable once again. One of the famous adds that he did was the add for LML, Gilbeys, Kodak Express, Good Knight.
But after coming back to Mumbai, Balaji offered him the role in Kya Haadsa Kya Haqeeqat, which he initially rejected. Eventually he agreed to do the role and never regretted it.
