<span class=normal>Growing-up years... <BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>One thing that I want to really thank my parents is for urging me to finish school and higher studies. Both of them being journalists laid a lot of importance on education. I finished my schooling and my higher studies with a B.A from Aligarh University. During my growing-up years, I learnt Urdu from my parents and got into the habit of writing books. Besides that I always used to participate in stage and musical shows right from school. In college and even after college I did a lot of charity shows for social causes. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Journey of films…<BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>When I was out of college, I got a lot of film offers but none lived up to my expectations. I was offered roles that had very little potential to show my acting prowess. The films that I accepted bombed at the box-office. When I was a child everybody wanted to rope me in for their films but once I finished with my schooling everything had changed. I did a few stunt films like Tarzan Ki Mehbooba and Zimbo Ka Beta, which fared very badly. After that I got offered only side roles and I accepted some of them but even that didnt work out. People did films either for money of fame but I got none. At this stage I was heartbroken because I had so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><a href=https://www.screenindia.com/ target=_blank>Screen India</a></span><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>
