1. Tell us about your growing up days. What was your dream career in your childhood days?
I was doing a lot of amateur and professional theatre in Delhi and there I found my passion for acting, because of my background in theatre. After that I started getting a lot of calls for auditions so I decided to move to Mumbai. Initially I went through the usual hustle of going from studio to studio. I remember I would pack my bag in the morning with one Indian outfit and one Western outfit and just go for auditions. I started doing television commercials soon, including one with Shah Rukh Khan. One of them was directed by Anurag Kashyap - it was an ad with Aamir Khan for Samsung mobile phone. That was really the ad that got me my film Gangs of Wasseypur. Kashyap kept his promise, signing me for a three-film deal with his company Anurag Kashyap Films and since then there's been no looking back. I always wanted to be an actor, even as a kid and coming from a middle class family, with nobody else in the family from the film industry, I was a bit apprehensive how this dream would come true. I think I was scared to even admit to myself but I guess it was always meant to be.
