- [In 2013, when asked why he quit acting in films] Honestly, it was the fear of insecurity that led me to seek a secure office job with assured monthly income. Also, I felt I had reached a point of career stagnation where I had to opt for a vocational shift. So I completed a specialised diploma course in travel ticketing and cargo forwarding.
