You won't ever get clarity in life. You have to overcome the hazy path yourself.
My mother Reba Vidyarthi was a Kathak dancer while my father Govind Vidyarthi was a theatre personality. Later on, he worked for Sangeet Natak Akademi and documented many dying art forms of India.
It's a dystopian world where things aren't connected. But life feels light when we can communicate, joke or laugh on ourselves.

My father is a Malayalee, my mother is a Bengali.
As an actor, I have travelled, met people and discovered that the only thing that matters is how we treat life, not complaining nor wanting better things.
No actor is totally happy with the roles they get.
All of us play different roles in our chosen career. I play the role of an actor. But I realised I am also an actor apart from various roles I play in my personal life.
Sometimes we think roles define us. One can emerge beyond the confines of their roles to make an impact on society.
I like to be a creative variable rather than sticking to a dogma.
