We only had Zee TV at the time and I got associated with the most popular show on it as a ‘Dressman’ when I wanted to be a director but there wasn’t any vacancy for the job. I later became an assistant director on the same show and after learning the tricks, 3 years later I was directing it all. I have been very fortunate when it comes to exploring various genres which has been very lucky for me.”

He further added, “You have to continuously work on ideas as that is what today’s day and age looks for. Ideas develop and make it big! Keep thriving and ideating because that’s when they get picked up and then the rest is history! I have been a producer, a writer and a director but my heart essentially lies with direction. Though production has also been quite fun. I have gotten an unbelievable amount of love from the industry over the years for my work and I assure you that constant persistence and never stopping at one thing and thereby restricting yourself is sure to take you places in the industry.”

This series is one of a kind and chances like this do not come around often, so the students can benefit from this and how!

Without having a media background, I think I was just at the right place, at the right time to be introduced to the industry. I have always loved the industry and being an ace debater in school helped a lot. I began as a radio jockey and the rest is history. I have learned a lot working in the entertainment industry and through observations, I learnt a lot about film making too. Later on, as an entertainment journalist, I saw people like Yash Chopra, Ram Gopal Verma, etc be at the top of their game at work which fascinated me. I eventually learned how to tell a story and decided to start telling one.”

He further added, “I didn’t do well initially, and that made me work harder. After a few learnings, I met Ekta Kapoor, who asked me to produce my work creatively, and that is how I became a good showrunner. It has been a very eventful journey and I am extremely grateful to God for having these opportunities that most people might not have. So you learn over time through careful observations and extreme determination and that is exactly how you succeed in life with regards to anything and everything!”

Evidently, the producers conversing and handing out their great expertise to these students will be a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity for them.
