Later on I kept building on my practical knowledge with a lot of researches and
online studies.
I was a huge fan
of the fashion field since a very early age. I used to watch any fashion
show on TV. The dream of becoming a professional model kept growing in the back
of my head and applied for modeling after the completion of schooling.
I never wanted
to have a mundane regular career. I'd chosen to be a choreographer to keep my
creativity and entrepreneurship spirit at its peak. It's been a good ride all
these years and I've enjoyed the trip thoroughly. My work as a fashion
choreographer gives me to lots of freedom to think and creativity to show my
talent which has been the mainstay of the entrepreneurial quest.

replicate his success everywhere else he tries his hand.
