I was not getting work, even after auditioning for films. So I started working in a studio as a photographer; I assisted a cinematographer for two ads.

When such acting powerhouses take note of your work and express their appreciation, it is an overwhelming feeling. I could not believe it when Rishi ji tweeted.
