What made you give up your flying career for acting?Flying was never my life career choice, in fact I started flying because beside doing theatre and plays during college festivals I couldn't take up acting as a career choice because of family constraints.
So, flying at that time happened by choice since my mother filled up the form and I got the interview call, which I cleared and was selected. I kept flying because one, it gave me the opportunity to travel across the world and two, it gave me enough possibilities to save up money to follow my dream of acting and help me during the initial phase of looking out for work. As soon as I felt I can give up flying, I did and started looking for acting jobs .
Since you are from Chandigarh, any plans for Punjabi films?Yes , if any opportunities comes my ways I will be very happy to do a Punjabi film as it is the culture I understand from core . In fact , I recently auditioned for a Punjabi film, but let’s see what future has in plan for me in Punjabi industry.

If not, why?I have just finished shooting for a web show and apart from it as of now I am not actively looking or auditioning for the next one because I like to train myself and learn the craft doing carpus workshops, coursed and theatre productions.
