His roots in theater led him to co-write and act in a school play, earning him "Excellence in Acting" for his portrayal of Lord Krishna. This passion continued at Hansraj College, where nationwide recognition followed numerous stage and street play performances, accompanied by awards for him and his theater group including “Best Actor” at MEDINA festival and IBTIDA Festival at Hindu College.
