‘Follow your heart’

Mandali actor Abhishek Duhan says it was his childhood wish to become an actor and that he was happy that he fulfilled it. “I didn’t face any confusion while deciding upon my career. I always knew I wanted to be a movie actor. It was my dream since childhood, and I never had any doubts. To all the young folks facing career confusion, my advice is to follow your heart. Pursue what you’re passionate about with full dedication. Give it your 100 per cent, fall in love with it, and success, money and fame will all follow,” he says.

About how his parents reacted to his decision to become an actor, he says, “Deciding to be a movie actor was challenging for my parents, as they were unfamiliar with the industry. Moving to a new city added another layer of difficulty, especially for them. Though I found it exciting, there were tough times in Mumbai. The key is persistence.”
