About me

I am 27 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall, from Jaipur Rajasthan.
I studied Acting for two years from Robert Reece in Whistling Woods. Rob has been a great influence. I learned Lee Strasberg's method of acting from him along with other virtues of life.
I studied Computer Engineering from Army Institute of Technology, Pune. My late father served in the Indian Army. I worked as Business Analyst in Mu Sigma, Bangalore after completing my engineering, for half a year. I did a lot of streetplays, Mad ads, Spoofs and plays during my engineering days along with performing plays professionally in Pune.

I have been doing theater in Mumbai with Salim Arif Sir. Have had pleasure of performing in Prithvi & NCPA with plays 'Manto Mantra' & ''Nagarji ki Nagri' .
These days, I am working on Harishankar Parsai's short story "Saadhna ka faujdaari ant"

Experience

Rab Da Vaasta

In the Short film, Rab da Vaasta, I play a victim of 84 Sikh riots, Manjeet Singh Sandhu who is living disguised as a Hindu barber. One fine day, on his job, after 3 years of riots, Manjeet meets the police officer whose throat he had slit and had fled. What happens then, is all about the choices we make, as men!

Check In

In this short film, Check In, I play the character of a software engineer who, while on his official trip in a hotel, meets the girl from his schooldays. One incident in their childhood had affected their lives irrevocably. Today when they meet again, they are surprised not only by the sheer coincidence, but also by the myriad of emotions that they are going through. They look back in their past, ponder over it in a complete different light and, in a way, find closure.
