You will not believe it. During these eight years, I used to move around the doors of producers with my portfolio. I did not get the job despite my name. But if I wanted to serve, I started working as an assistant director, choreographer and casting director. Did a few cameos as well. But nothing big was found. 9 years ago I joined ‘Tarak Mehta …’ and did not look back. “

During college days, I and producer Asit Modi were in the same batch. They knew me personally and professionally. One day he finalized me for the role of Abdul. I had no option but to say yes. Initially I used to shoot 2-3 days a month. But the character became popular and people came to know me as Sharad na right Abdul. I was born again from this show.
