“The major challenge was transiting from a child actor to an adult actor , to doing it as a means to an end. At first it was more of fun and passion, and there were several platforms that I could showcase what I could do.

So at that point when I was transiting into doing this professionally, there wasn't really enough options for me to actually practise. So what I did was I spent the time training myself, getting the jobs that I could do.
