The drill at Big FM continued for another two years, and like I said before, it drained the life out of me. Even though it was increasingly becoming a struggle for me to drag myself to office, trust me, I gave my hundred per cent each day. This was when I knew that it was time for me to take that leap of faith: go back to Mumbai to do what I always dreamed of doing—becoming an actor. No one took me seriously in office, but since they knew I was confident, they supported my decision. They even offered me the option of conducting shows from the Mumbai office. In fact, they were generous enough to let me use the Big FM accommodation in Mumbai. Kind though they were, I did get to know something from my previous producer, Shruti, about what had happened behind closed doors during this time. Remember I told you earlier about the time Tarun said that he’ll make sure I become an actor when I expressed my aspirations for the same in front of him? When I knew I had to go to Mumbai and they were being all kind to me, little did I know that they didn’t have faith in me at all. Shruti told me that Tarun had said, ‘Jane do isko, do hafte main waapis aayega.’

(With God’s grace, it’s been over seven years and I still haven’t gone back!)

Gradually, I started auditioning in Mumbai, while giving links for Big FM Delhi. At no point of my life did I put myself in a situation where I was cash-strapped. I never put all my eggs in one basket. I didn’t want to leave Big FM till the time I had something concrete on the acting front. And I think even they didn’t want me to go because I was doing a good job. Soon, my first Balaji serial happened—Qayamat, where I played the second lead. And my not-so-memorable stint in television fiction shows started.
