US TALK
What does success mean to you?
Being content with life.
Something you learned early in your career which helped you become a better actor/model?
That no one would help me, until I help myself.
What is the most challenging thing about your career?
Keeping silent!
Do you have any professional training in acting? If not, how did you learn the craft?
I didn’t have any formal training. If you want to pursue acting, start observing how people act in their daily life. Learn from your surroundings. Oh, and watch a lot of TV and cinema!
Who are some of your role model actors/actresses, and what do you like about their work?
Everyone’s a role model for me; every person has something unique to teach you.
From all your roles/projects so far, which was the most meaningful to you, and why?
College Gate, an upcoming drama. It is meaningful to me because it was my first TV play and I got to work with a lot of my friends.
Do you believe good looks and connections are the only things that make a star?
I believe hard work and luck is what makes a star, but looks and connections also help.
How has social media changed things for you?
It made me popular and taught me how to be comfortable on camera.
How do you deal with self-doubt?
I rarely, if ever, find myself doubting my abilities but when I do, I just treat it like a challenge and make sure that I’m prepared fully. Not being afraid to fail also helps.
