A CORRESPONDENT


Engineers and doctors are known to become managers or government servants.But there are some professionals,who choose to become actors.My Times Panvel profiles four such celebs,who left their professional fields to turn into professional actors.Payal Rohatgi,Arzoo Govitrikar,Harshali Ziine and cool dude,Ravi Dubey,all have the same passion for acting in them,which has led them to change their career paths.


RAVI DUBEY


Ravi Dubey,the protagonist Tej,in the on-air soap Saas Bina Sasural,wanted to be an actor since as long as he can remember.What led him to realize this latent desire was a failure in engineering despite being a good student.
Honestly,it was quite a rollercoaster ride.I felt like quite a misfit from day one.When I failed,I did not want to lose one entire year.After a lot of praying,I got the determination to pursue this desire passionately.I am practicing Buddhism since the last seven years and my chants played a major role in turning this secular failure into something positive.I did not want to leave it midway.Eventually,I gave it my all and got through, tells the electronics and telecom engineer.
Like all struggling actors,Ravi initially went through a period of criticism,mockery,lack of funds,less or sometimes no work at all.
I got rejected several times but backed with prayers;I took it all in my stride,took it as my training and kept my belief intact.Without a severe struggle,one cannot truly relish victory.
Like most other actors,Ravis goals are to play unprecedented roles,get acknowledged and respected for his work and become a yardstick for being a good human being.I want to give my best,play all roles in my personal and professional life beyond the best of my ability.I have just about started and have barely reached the first milestone.I have miles to go before I sleep, he adds.
