Long story short, one day along with my family and friends went to a mall. So, there was this guy who wanted to audition us all for a show and we didn’t know anything related to Bollywood but my mom insisted so we all went there and all of us kids auditioned, and my friends. But, fortunately, it was me who got selected among everybody and then I shot for the show Shake it up in which I played a small part but it did open a door for me that has led to big opportunities and dreams coming true.
