Facts/Trivia

• While he was in school and college, he wanted to make his career in sports. He was passionate to become a cricketer, but due to some personal issues, he could not make his career in cricket. In an interview, while talking about it, he said,
  

  I was a sports player. I was a cricketer till I was 18 and whoever knew me and how I played there was a 100% surety that I would go up and play cricket. But something happened in my life, I changed my perspective and I pushed myself to go to Australia and study because I didn’t want to be in India. The circumstances were really difficult and when I went to Australia, I had to work because we couldn’t afford my education and my stay.”

  He added,

  If you know about sportsmen, the minute they are not able to play sports, there’s a very big chance they’ll go and party and they’ll do the opposite of everything a sportsman has to do and I did that. I needed a job that allows me to do that and at the same time, allows me to party and pays my bills. The bouncers were one of the highest-paid jobs in Australia and I started well. Also, because I didn’t mind a fight or scrap, I got into it. I was getting paid to party basically, and I also got confronted with a lot of tough situations. The actor believes that tough times are a part of life, and one has to go through them in order to succeed.”

• In an interview, while talking about his journey as a model and actor. He said,
  

  My journey has been amazing. I’m a middle-class boy from Bombay, I come from a simple family which has no idea about all this and I went from being a sportsman to going to study in Australia to being a bouncer to go to wanting to be a model and then pursuing acting. Then I went to America, just by myself, and worked there. I’m just following my gut feeling, even in the case of Bigg Boss.”

  He further talked about the rejections he faced while giving auditions. He said,

  Everyone looks at rejection as a part of something. You are going to do a job where they are going to select one person out of 200 or 300. Most of the time, I get selected. There are lots of there where I’ve not been selected for some reason. I need to understand that the DNA of the job has rejection embedded in it. I understood this a long time ago, so I prepped myself. But I have always focussed on getting the job.”
