Depth and Breadth of

Skills I Developed and Deploy

It was a serendipity

Some roles come to you, that are too good to reject. Acting happened to be one such role.

One fine day, thanks to my friend’s referral, I found myself in front of the camera—not chasing the spotlight, but quietly drawn to the power of storytelling.

My roles have been small—sometimes a blink, sometimes a line. But each one brought me into a world where fiction holds up a mirror to truth. And that, in its own way, is priceless.

I’m grateful to have shared space, however briefly, with creators who live for their craft. It’s an experience I carry with quiet pride.
