A trained actor, award-winning screenplay writer, director & former computer engineer, with a major background in theatre, and a Diploma in Method Acting from The Jeff Goldberg School of Performing Arts, I enjoy my role as an actor, placing a strong emphasis on research & digging deep down the rabbit hole. You may have spotted me in ‘The Pillowman’ as Michal, ‘Bouncers’ as Kenny Kapadia; ‘The Cherry Orchard’ at The Veda Kunba Theatre as Lopakhin; my short films, ‘The Divine’ & ‘Karmic Catharsis’; or in ‘Julius Caesar’ at The Royal Opera House as Casca.

My upcoming projects include the web series ‘Bhrakshak’, for which I lost 15 kgs; the series ‘Regicide Rising’, for which I stayed in character as Macbeth for an entire year; the short films, ‘Hindustan ki Taqdeer’ & ‘Am I Not A Madman?’; and the series ‘Two Lives Harmoniques’, which I have written as well.
