In an interview, he spoke about the same. He said,
I auditioned for Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega but it took three years for it to release. In 2014-15, I even thought of quitting my job and even took part-time jobs but failed. Thankfully, I got through that phase because I was so absorbed in acting that I couldn’t think of doing anything else. Those were tough years, very tough in fact. But I had full support from my siblings and friends. Eventually, the release of Jamtara (2020) turned the tide. At the same time, actors like Amit Sial, who I consider a mentor, encouraged me a lot.”

As an actor, I did try my best and worked hard on my character, and all three directors I worked with were brilliant. I followed their ideas strictly as I sincerely believe that films (or TV) are a director’s medium. Last year, after the release of the first season, the lockdown came and everything came to a standstill. During that time, I worked religiously on my craft. This time, due to a tragedy in my family, I had to return to my hometown Mormokama (near Patna). So, I am with them and hope that I can go back as the situation gets better and the shoot starts. ”
