During his youth he worked as a carpenter to provide for his family and then he suddenly met a fellow of the Film fraternity who was from the production department in films. Once they started conversing he was thrilled to hear about his work and requested him for work in the industry as he also wanted to be a part of this roller coaster ride and in doing so he left his existing job as a carpenter and began this new unexplored journey.
