1. Pictures speak volumes? What do you think about that?
Yes they do but more than that, they speak expressions and emotions which I love capturing all the time.

2. From Raju Chacha to Pears to now. How cool was the journey?
The journey was super cool. It included hard work and a lot of fun as well. It has been a very smooth and has taught me a lot with its experiences. I believe “we are what we are by how we see life and treat it”.
3. Life Photography and that too by such a young photographer. Feel proud of yourself?
I am very proud of myself but not over-confident about it. I have a lot more to learn and the future will make me more proud of myself. I am more proud of my parents as they have supported me all through. Also, Passion drives the world, it drives me and my work too 
NCPA Exhibition when I was 8
4. Where do you like to dine?
I like to dine at The Wedding Cafe and Lounge, Barbeque Nation, Jugheads and many more places.
5. You love monochrome pictures? No color pictures?
Yes I do love monochrome pictures but it’s not that I don’t like color pictures, they are equally good too. Monochrome pictures just give more depth and intensity to expressions.
6. Your parents play an important part in your life and career. Any special words about them.
Yes they do. I just want to thank them for everything. The fact is that they have taken more efforts than me to make me what I am today. As I said before I am proud of them.
7. What are you currently working on ?
