▪What inspired you to be an actor ?
~ I never thought of being an actor. Like every B.Pharm student, I wanted to do well in my career. Kareena Kapoor Khan is one actor who inspires me. I saw her movie, ‘Talaash’ and her acting touched my soul. For me, it’s inception, I love the cast, I love the movie as a whole, no matter how many times I watch it, I just feel happy.
She is doing such wonderful work. I think Kareena is very inspirational.
My mother wanted to see me on television. She is a wonderful woman and an inspiration for me.
I started attending acting workshops and an unpleasant incident took place at the very beginning of my career that’s hard to forget. I was very disappointed. Since that day I have decided to stay strong, do hard work and started my career again as a character artist and then I got the lead role. Today people know me as ‘Pekhom’ .
My parents have always been my inspiration. Snehasish Da helped me a lot in bringing out the ‘Pekhom ‘ out of me.
