Like many small-town kids, I grew up fascinated by Hindi cinema. Moving to Mumbai, I was thrilled to pursue my dream of working in the film industry. "I have to give it a shot," I told myself. And I did—landing a position at Yash Raj Films, which I still hold with pride.
But Mumbai, the city of endless opportunities, had other plans for me. I found myself drawn to the social sector, taking on projects that resonated deeply with me. Despite my beginnings in Bollywood, I couldn’t ignore the pull of these meaningful stories and the lives they touched.
One project led to another, immersing me in the heart of people's experiences and giving me a profound sense of purpose. The glamour of Bollywood faded into the background; and I dived headfirst into a world driven by passion and impact.
And I haven’t looked back since. It’s been an incredibly fulfilling journey, one that continues to inspire me every single day.
