ABOUT ME
Since my kindergarten days, I was showing a propensity for acting. My innate desire for different ways of life led me to believe that the only way to live more lives is to become an actor. Diversity of characters I might become one day still remains my main driving force. Creation of a character from the first acquaintance with it to its final portrayal is the best way how I fulfill myself.
