He hails from the Uttar Pradesh
state in India. Born and brought up in Moradabad, his parents are from Akbarpur
near the holy city of Ayodhya
“We are three brothers”, reveals
Mishra whose father was a government employee in Moradabad and mother was just
a house wife. “My family lives in Lucknow, a capital of Uttar Pradesh. I am
recently living in Delhi and usually go to Mumbai”.
When he was in the 12th
grade, a friend of his brother told him about former miss world Priyanka Chopra
who came from a near city called Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh. “He also told me
about her achievements while belonging to a small city by crossing all the
barriers only to be crowned as Miss World 2000... And so, from there I started
to go to into art industry...”, says Mishra whose role models were eventually Chopra
from Bollywood, Jennifer Lopez from Hollywood, John Abraham from India and
Enrique Iglesias from Spain.
A New Artist
When I was doing BBA as
graduation, I decided to become professional artist”, remembers Mishra who succeeded
to join elite model management in Delhi where he acquired a certificate course in
modelling, grooming and acting. “In my country India, so many challenges I
faced up”, he adds. “Modelling is worst here and everyone in the modeling
profession is robbing each other either in the name of registration money or
sexual desires. Some organizers create fashion shows where they charge money
from young boys and models without seeing their attributes or statistics”.
Bollywood is famous for its
dancing and musical production. “In the TV and film industry, it is not easy to
come as so much struggle is here”, explains Mishra. “I am a middle-class family
guy and I don't have so much money to pay food and accommodation in Delhi and
Mumbai. These two cities are too much costly to live if someone belongs to good
financial background like the sons of businessman, celebrities, or politicians.
They can go easily and survive there but for a middle-class family person, it
is not easy to live there. So, these things are like hurdles in the way of
getting success on TV and film”.
