“I began my journey behind the camera—directing and producing non-fiction shows. Then I started VJ-ing for a major entertainment channel. Things became tough when I had to quit my VJ job due to a management company change in the early 2000s. Suddenly, I went from earning a six figure salary a month to nothing. My brothers lent me money to make ends meet.”
