Talking about himself, the “Mr. India” actor said: “I started my career with Nautanki in helplessness as I belonged to a not so financially strong family. But because my father did not have enough money hence, I could not do IAS.
“I was left with no other option to choose from and that is why I started my career in acting by doing Nautanki shows like ‘Laila Majnu’ and ‘Harishchandra’.”
