I started my career as a TV presenter and then moved to Mumbai and appeared in major supporting roles in five Bollywood feature films including the smash hit "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and was in the main cast for the Zee TV drama serial “Cloud 9”, in which I appeared in 87 episodes. I voiced the character Mr Nibblitt on the CBeebies cartoon “Boj” in over 20 episodes.

In theatre, I have been on several national tours from the Bollywood re-imagining of Twelfth Night “What You Fancy”, to children’s theatre “The Snow Queen” and “Dough” to adult themed plays like “No Dogs, No Indians”.

In 2016, I acted and produced my own sitcom pilot “Love, Sex and Side Effects” which was developed by the BBC for six months. I also appeared in several high-profile, award winning short films such as Sarmad Masud’s “Two Dosas”, Simon Ryninks “Contractor 014352” and “The Plunge”. The Plunge premiered this year at Palm Springs and will have it’s UK premier at Aesthetica later this year. These shorts have garnered me four Best Actor nominations, three for “Love, Sex and Side Effects” at festivals in London, Brussels and Valencia and one for “Contractor 014352” at a festival in London. 

As a writer I began my career in theatre, with five plays staged, two of which went on national tour. I wrote 23 episodes of the Zee TV Drama "Cloud 9" and won two Best Comedy writer awards for my pilot "Love, Sex and Side Effects at international film festivals. This year I had a further two Best Writer nominations. 

In 2016, I was a finalist for the BBC Films Screenplay First Award, one of only 7 from 445 applicants. From this BBC Writers' Room selected me to join the shadow scheme for the CBBC show “The Dumping Ground”.

My latest play "Mr Khan's Emporium" is due to tour next year. I've also been developing a play "Golden Child" with the Criterion Theatre as part of their new writing programme. 

My latest short film "The Plunge" premiered at Palm Springs and is due to have it's UK premiere in November at Aesthetica.
