While he wanted me to focus on academics, my passion veered towards theatre and acting. My father was extremely angry about it; he stopped talking to me and even locked me up for a month. After much pleading by me and my mother, he finally allowed me to pursue theatre. Taking that as an opportunity to push my luck, I told him about my desire to go to Mumbai and pursue a career in acting. All hell broke loose, and I had to literally stage a protest in my house, including giving up food. Finally, my father gave in on the condition that I would be granted just two years; I have to be back whether or not I make it.”
