After a nasty accident left him with a busted vertebra and zero feeling in his legs, the dude basically stared down the impossible. Most folks would've called it a day, but nope—he made this wild promise to himself that he'd get back on his feet, no matter what. And, get this, he actually walked—like, literally walked—all the way from his place in Madras to the Balaji temple in Tirupathi, Andhra Pradesh. That’s not some quick stroll through the park, either. We're talking a journey that would test pretty much anyone, never mind someone just out of spinal surgery. People thought he was out of his mind, but stubbornness (or maybe faith?) kept him going. Every step? Pure grit. It's not just about the physical pain, but the mental battle too. Some called it a miracle, others just straight-up madness. Either way, you can’t deny the guy’s got heart.

Acting’s wild, honestly. You get tossed into your first few gigs, and half the time you’re just trying to figure out where to put your hands or how to not look like a total idiot on camera. You end up picking up all these little tricks—the way to hit your mark, how to fake a laugh, that sort of thing. Eventually, you start overthinking every scene, picking apart your own stuff, but weirdly, that makes it more fun. You start getting a kick out of nailing a scene just right. But at the end of the day, it’s not really about you being some genius. It’s the director’s show, honestly. If he wants you to dial it up, you go big. If he wants subtle, you pull it back. You just try to give them what they need, and if you’re lucky, you don’t end up on the cutting room floor. That’s just the deal.
