Hi Sagar,

My question to you is,
Do you have a godfather in the Acting Industry or rather Bollywood.

If No, have you earlier performed as a theatre artists or any form of plays or shows etc.

If none of the above, then my only advise would be, join a famous acting Institute like Anupam Khers acting institute or any which offers placement

And at the same time, better would be to work on your personality and learn dancing, judo, karate martial Arts etc which will be an aid to you during the acting career.

Wish you good luck.....
