When he was in the second year of college, the ‘Stree’ actor thought of making some extra pocket money and picked up a job which he loved.
“I thought what should I do everybody making extra pocket money I was in second-year college? Then I thought let me do what I love so I just joined the school called KV public school in Gurgaon sector 14 – then I did 1 play for their annual day function. I was there for 3 months then I focused on myself and learnt,” he told ANI.
