Karanvir Bohra, Chandana Sharma, Vatsal Seth and Jennifer Kotwal on the sets of Just Mohabbat. Soon Shararat and Kasautii Zindagii Kay happened, things just kept going on, and my dream of being a director remained a dream (laughs). Since the acting part was for six months, I thought I’ll join him soon. He advised that I should take up acting for now and he’ll call me again for any other VVC film. I discussed the situation with the guy who got me the assistant director job with VVC. My sister said Vidhu Vinod Chopra is a big name and here was my chance to work with him. My dad told me that a chance to direct could come again, but acting doesn’t come easily. This was after the show took a year’s leap. A night before I am supposed to start shooting for Mission Kashmir, I get a call from the production house that I am selected to play one of the leads, Kabir, in Just Mohabbat. Mona Irani, who was one of the prominent coordinators, sent me to Deeya and Tony Singh for an audition. This was early 2000s when these coordinators used to send us for auditions. Simultaneously, I was also doing theatre with Satyadev Dubey. From there I got a chance to assist Vidhu Vinod Chopra on Mission Kashmir. I was an assistant director for almost a year to BP Singh, who made Aahat and CID.
