Debutant Rahul Sharma battled family’s ‘log kya kahenge’ fear

Actor Rahul Sharma, who will debut with a project titled "X Ray – the Inner Image", says his parents wanted him to take up a traditional career path as a medical professional. But he was always passionate about acting.

Rahul nursed an interest in acting and modelling right from the raw age of 13.

"I hail from Jaipur, Rajasthan and our realities are very different. I had to shoulder familial responsibilities and studying further was what was expected of me. So I took up Bachelor in Mass Media," Rahul said in a statement.

"I went to Kota for preparation of medical, and then gave an entrance exam for a medical college in Mumbai as well. But thankfully the line I dreamed of, opened its doors for me."

Rahul has featured in five music videos.

"I had to really convince my parents to let me get into acting and at the same time tackle their ‘log kya kahenge’ fear," said Rahul, who wanted to pursue his dream with approval from his parents.

"It was hard convincing them but eventually they understood this is what I was meant to do."

"X Ray – The Inner Image" is a thriller directed by Rajiv S Ruia.
