I am a passionate and multi-talented creative professional with over 20 years in the Bollywood film industry, beginning as a dance performer in 2001. I transitioned to assistant choreographer in 2017–18, then to a music video/commercial choreographer and director, and ultimately evolved into an award-winning filmmaker. My debut film "Mumbai 16" received over 25 national and international awards. Now, with my upcoming short film "Echoes of What Wasn’t Said," I aim to set a Guinness World Record for performing the maximum number of technical roles in a single film. I believe in telling emotionally resonant stories that combine visual poetry with purpose.
