I starred in two films From Sydney with Love and Ek Tera Saath and both were huge flops. I felt like my dreams were shattered. I found it difficult to come to terms with the fact that my films did not work. That was the worst phase of my life because I had already stopped thinking of doing TV shows. For four years, I kept away from everyone. Eventually, I turned towards spirituality, meditated daily and focused on exercising. It took me another two years to muster enough courage and gather confidence to look for work. I finally understood what television had given me and decided to try my luck there and TV welcomed me again.”
