While talking about his journey at an event, the actor mentioned that he used to lisp a lot which made him scared of talking in front of people.

“I would be afraid that people would make fun of me. It took me many years to understand that you can’t afford to be afraid", he added. 

The Dunki actor revealed that his mother recognized his acting talent in him. She was the one who told him to seek help from a speech therapist.

He further mentioned working as a waiter and room service staff at Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Later on, he helped his mother in their bakery for 14 years where the only job he had was to smell ghee and potatoes.

It was all until the time he bagged a role in Shah Rukh Khan’s Josh.
