When I came to Nagpur I had no clue what I will do here. I just wanted some fresh air and have fun. I started with almost nothing. By total luck, I met Azeem Khan , and things just started to change from there. Azeem Khan was running a successful start up at that time and he gave me a chance to work as a graphic designer there. With no skill at that time, I struggled but I tried to learn every day. Soon I became quite skilled at it even though it was quite an overwhelming experience for me.

I have always had a thing for photography. Capturing photos through a camera gave me a feeling I never got from anything else. With a lot of guts and support from The TIE Up, I started my cinematography journey. Believe me, it wasn't easy but the passion kept me going every single day. I learned everything from Youtube and through experiences. Things started changing exponentially from there. I started getting more projects, my pay per shoot started increasing.

Today, I stand very proudly of the decisions I made when deciding to come to nagpur. I can't imagine living my current life if I never left my hometown. My family who is my constant support has always helped me in my bad times. By family, I not only mean maa and papa but The TIE Up family as well. I hope to keep working on my ideas and keep reaching my dreams.

Other than photography, music has also been my passion from the start. Someday I hope to capture events like Tomorrowland. I've worked with Guru Randhawa which was one of the best experiences of my life and It’s only just the beginning, many more experiences await me.

Life has given me many surprises and I honestly am glad that it did. I just want to say, start where you are. Your things will get figured out eventually. Sooner or later you'll be so close to your dream and you'll be glad that you started. It’s all about holding onto your dreams.
