My mother and I squeezed ourselves in that mat. We didnt even have a cup to drink water not to talk of a stove to cook. And my mother had to borrow, beg and stuff like that. These were moments when I was young I didnt realize the gravity of poverty we were in, I couldnt tell. But it was a good orientation for me.
It was moments that I thank God for making me past through, because that has sustained and helped me even as an actor. The ability to deliver all the roles they give me because I have tasted both sides of the coin.It was moments that I thank God for making me past through, because that has sustained and helped me even as an actor.

Yeah, those moments; those terrible moments when we had nothing and we were living off people. People were just helping us out. There were times we didnt have food to eat three or four days. You havent eaten and your stomach is rumbling but you dont have any place to go.
There was a time I lived on the street, in shops. There was a time I slept under the bridge. It was unfortunate that there were no records so that we can have memories we could play back now.
To me, I am so extremely grateful that I went through it. At that time I hated everybody around me. In fact, I used to question why God was doing this to me. But I think God knew that I needed this for my future.
