Surviving
in this industry is not always certain.
Some stick on for long, while others fail
to prove themselves. So do these telly actors
have another backup ready for them? Or are
they in Mumbai with just acting on their
mind?

I just have acting with me. I don't have
anything by my side. And fortunately God
has been very kind and gracious to me. Acting
is my only backup. I was never pessimistic
when I came to Mumbai with absolutely nothing
in my hand, and spent two years on the footpath!
I have no financial backup, there is no
one supporting behind me. Yes, emotionally,
I have people around me. It fluctuates from
person to person, and this is about me!

Aah! I have never ever thought of an alternative
career. And that's because I am confident
about myself. But on a real note, if that
ever happens, I can do any sort of physical
labour. I don't have a great education backing
me, no MBA degree, no engineering degree;
I haven't even completed my graduation.
In life, these degrees are not everything;
there is no guarantee of getting everything
with your educational qualification. What
matters today is experience!

I have no other backup other than acting
as of now. I just shifted my base from Delhi
to Mumbai. If something goes wrong, I will
have to plan accordingly. I have his gut
feeling; I am here to make it big so I have
never given it a thought. I think I will
join the creative side of this industry
but nothing apart from this industry. Education
is certainly very important, but this is
all about passion. I definitely have a financial
backup, as my family is very supportive.

Well, if not acting, it unquestionably
has to be singing. I have received many
accolades for my singing, and perhaps that
can be my backup. It is not always that
this line is not certain, it's just very
competitive, and once if you make a position
here, nothing can go wrong. I have seen
many who don't deserve what they have, while
only a few are worthy of what they have.
I feel being intelligent in this industry
is very very important. Education undoubtedly
is significant, but after being on screen
one cannot do a nine to five job, you see.
Technically I do have a financial backup
from my parents who are based in the U.S.A,
but I don't want them to think that I failed
for what I was here. I am saving too, and
making my own financial backup.

Oh! I was working in an ad agency prior
to this and also I had a career in painting.
I had 22 students under me who were learning
painting. I was working with Lintas in the
creative department. Education was the criteria
of my acting career. My mother had warned
me that if I don't finish my education,
I would not be allowed to step in this industry.
I had to turn down two to three lucrative
modeling assignments as I was appearing
for my exams. I have a financial backup
from whatever I have worked on. So I have
never relied on acting per say!

I am an MBA! Prior to this I was working
in a MNC called G capital in the financial
division. So if nothing works out for me
in this line at any point of time, I have
my master's degree to fall on!
