Tell us about your journey
I was born and bought up in Ludhiana but I pursued my graduation in B.Tech from Punjabi University, Patiala, I started my career when I was in secondary school, and then work kept coming and I did a lot of movies like RSVP, Vaisakhi List, Harjeeta, Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua, and Afsar. Then I worked as a lead actor in the Punjabi web series Yaar Jigree Kasooti Degree which I was hugely appreciated.
What is your fashion and fitness mantra?
I prefer to be in my skin, comfortable and classy than to follow any sort of fashion trend blindly. Of course, I have my go-to brands like Adidas, Puma, and Nike but at the same time, I would buy anything from anywhere if I like it. Talking about my fitness mantra, with the grace of Almighty I don’t have to maintain myself much since I am overall fit but yes while opting for a character you need to get into the character and I think that is the only time when I choose to go to the gym.
Being the son of Jaswinder Bhalla makes your life easy or complicated?
