It almost changed everything and my life took a turn due to this show. Now, people know me as Nima!

No matter what the platform, I would love to play different and challenging roles. I’m already essaying one role, though I can’t talk about it yet.

If not an actor, what profession would you have chosen?

Maybe a journalist or a travel vlogger.
