I met fashion choreographer Ganesh Guru who said that the potential is there in me to be in that field. I did not accept that immediately of course, but then after some talks, he convinced me to take my first assignment and I did it for fun. I had a great time taking pictures, modelling and all. Then, phone calls came from various sections and eventually, I found my passion in that field.

It was the next step and a huge stepping stone in my career.
