[2]Nai Dunia.In an interview, he revealed the story behind getting the role of Arjun in Mahabharat. He said, I firmly believe in destiny. Basically I was never inclined to do any TV serial. I studied in Oxford and returned to join Taj. But acting always fascinated me. One day I was informed about an ongoing audition for a movie. But unfortunately, I was late and some other actor was finalised. Little disheartened, I was passing by Mr.B.R Chopras house. I saw a group of renowned actors and actresses present there. I was very captivated. I met Mr.Gufi Pantel(Who played Shakuni in Mahabharata). He told me that audition for Mahabharat was going on and insisted me to go for it. At that moment I had no idea about Mahabharata script. To my surprise, I was handed the dialogues which were in Hindi, the language I was not at all fluent with. So, I first translated the dialogues into English and then I went for the audition. Fortunately, after a week I came to know that I was selected for the role of Arjun..When he signed for Mahabharat, he was quite sceptical about portraying Arjun on screen; as he wasnt well-versed in Hindi at that time. While talking about it, he says, Initially, I had problems learning the dialogues but late Rahi Masoom Raza and Pandit Narendra Sharma (the scriptwriter) helped me a lot to overcome my problem. With time I improved and then everything became simple and more interesting..In 2016, he made his digital debut with the web series I Dont Watch TV in which he did a cameo. It was premiered on Arre and YouTube.
