He was discovered in
a Discotheque by ace designer Rohit Bal.

socialite Bina Ramani.
He has recently
married Indian Supermodel Mehr Jessia.
He was proclaimed Society’s Face of the year, 1994.
He was initially keen to make a career internationally.
He realized once he
was abroad that the modeling scene was not very conducive,as the front
line-up of male models were in the age bracket of 17 to 21 years and
according to him it would have taken him at least couple of years to
make it big.
He felt that being
abroad helped him mature as a professional and made him aware of lot
of things he wouldn’t have learnt otherwise.
He always wanted to
settle in India.
He says"Two years
ago, while I was shooting for an ad film -Monte Carlo, I met Ashok
Mehta. He expressed his desire to work with me for his directorial
debut."
He read the script
almost eight times before he decided to give it a shot.
He says he wanted to
study film-making, when he was in London, but things did not happen
that way.
He's been to an acting school for just 15 days, he says "Basically to
get rid of my inhibitions. It really helped me loosen up and be
totally relaxed in front of the camera because as a model you tend to
be very stiff and preoccupied with angles."
He is also undergoing
training in Indian classical vocals, basically for voice modulation,
taking Urdu lessons to get my diction right, and lessons in Hindi
filmi dancing.
He is all geared up
to take our very own tinsel-town by storm with his two prestigious
films his working on - Ashok Mehta’s Moksha opposite Manisha Koirala
and Shantanu Sheorey’s Jadh co-starring Jackie Shroff and Smriti
Mishra.
Though the films have
yet to be released there is much talk about his acting capabilities
and that he will be next big news in filmdom.
