How do you plan to deal with fights and controversies?
I will try to listen and only then react. I will try not to be blind. I will observe the situation and then do my chaal (move).

My journey has been full of ups and down. During school in Delhi, I used to play state level cricket, my parents didn't support my dreams so I had to leave.

O returned to Mumbai in 2016 and started my acting journey.
