He has supported us like a rock. Because of his belief in us and our craft, we were able to make a small mark in the industry. He always believed fully in our work.”

So this acting ka keeda was basically given to me and my sister (who is also an actor) by our father. My sister and I did a lot of Krishna and Ram Leela plays in Delhi from where we gravitated towards acting.”
