I needed to reconnect with the craft. Get back to basics.
To breakdown a character, to dissect a piece of text and to be present.
I needed to remember how to listen, how to react honestly and truthfully.
I needed to sharpen my insticnts and feed off other actors.
I got to do this with @theopenspaceactingstudio , and at the @theoldreptheatre in the same room I started my acting journey over 20 years ago. Full circle moment. I will be back. I needed this.

“I’m an actor and storyteller with nearly two decades of experience across stage and screen, with credits including Line of Duty, Coronation Street, BBC feature Retreat, and the International award-winning film Footprints on Water, starring opposite Adil Hussain (Star Trek, Life of Pi). My work spans gritty television drama, Shakespeare tours, theatre and leading roles in independent cinema, driven by a passion for exploring complex, human-centred stories. Whether on stage or on screen, I thrive on bringing bold, truthful characters to life.”
I'm grateful to share that I've officially graduated and obtained my Postgraduate Certificate, Class of 2025.
This achievement represents a meningful milestone in my professional journey, made possible through dedication, learning, and the support of inspiring educators and peers.
I'd like to thank @bimm_stagram@birmingham_bimmuni@metfilmschool School for cultivating a creative, enriching and supportive learning environment.
I'm proud of how far I've come and motivated to keep learning, growing, and applying these skills in Filmmaking and Acting.

Onto the next chapter!
A bit late to the party in posting this ... however ...
I had the privilege of being of @who.am.i_2025 , a project which explored stories and journeys of 2nd/3rd East African Indians who emmigrated to Britian. This is part of my heritage, so having the responsibility to retell these stories was extremely special, humbling and inspiring.
Furthermore, I got to work with some amazing actors, creatives and brilliant talent. @parsadjoey@saaj.raja@aartishahx@anisaaniiam@rezthestoryteller
On personal note, I got to tread the boards again! TV & Film is great but there is nothing like being on stage. Theatre is where you learn your craft! Stage is king!
Thank you @tarunjasani@lata4117@mukul_tiger for bringing us together and bringing the vision to life!
