I was always interested in acting. I was into theatre in school and college with theatre personality Barry John, who has also trained Shah Rukh Khan. Then I joined the Elite modelling agency -- they have different courses including grooming, modeling and theatre workshop. I was selected for modeling.

I did two commercials (Asian Paints and Ad Gel).

How did you get your first break with Balaji?

I did not do my first serial with Balaji. I came to Mumbai from Delhi to shoot for commercials. I did a course in Kishore Namit Kapoor acting school. I got my first break for Manish Goswami's serial Sixer for Star One. I shot for four or five episodes. But there was some problem and the serial did not take off.

I had got an offer for Ek Radha Aur Ek Sham but I couldn't accept that because I had a contract with Sixer. After my contract got over, I auditioned for Kyunki and was selected. The next day, I was shooting for Kyunki.
