“Others may question your credentials, your papers and your degrees. Other may look for all kind of ways to diminish your worth. But what is inside you no one can take away from you…or tarnish…or diminish. This is your worth, what you really are. Your degree is inside you and can go with you wherever you go. It can’t be manipulated or shaken. Without that sense of self, no amount of paper, no pedigree and no credentials can make you legit. No matter what….you have to feel legit inside first.”

These lines from the movie Pursuit of Happiness changed my view of looking at life completely. Whenever I feel low I watch this scene from the movie over and over again and this fills me up with an incredible amount of strength and will power.

 

Hello everybody on IMM, I am Suraj and today I want to share with you all a fast-forwarded journey of my life so far….an above average student, a diligent employee, a fitness enthusiast, a trustworthy friend and a good Samaritan…….and not to forget in my mom’s words….an extremely gullible fool and an emotional jerk as she keeps on yelling at me every single day as to when would I learn to fare through the cunning deals of world….not very startling though as every mom in the world thinks likewise for their children.

Before starting the tale….first let me tell you that I am a very filmy kind of guy and my story too is very much like the character being played by Ranbeer Kapoor in the movie Wake Up Sid….as a couple of years back I too was never be able to decide about what to do in life. I had interest in Acting and Modeling from the very outset but I would never reveal it to my parents as I had the fear that they would not let me do that.

Frustrated with the agony of not getting a firm foothold in any particular field I tried in past once when I was seated alone in my room I watched this movie Pursuit of Happiness on television. The character of Will Smith shook me up from inside and the amount of positivity that he had in the movie left me stumped and that was the day when I made a firm decision and I went straight to my mom and told her with all conviction that I would want to be a model and an actor. I had a tough time making my mom understand but finally I got a rock steady support from her side.

My physique was very much like a huge bodybuilder with 18’’ biceps and all….but I knew that…that giant look would not take me anywhere in the field of acting and modeling. I started cutting down on my mass and got much leaner and aesthetic after a strenuous regime of couple of months. I then got my portfolio made and started looking for modeling jobs around. I did a photo shoot for my own local gym first and for the very first time I got that sense of achievement and satisfaction when I saw my poster on the wall. I started getting an ocean of attention from the people in the gym or even outside. I started getting references for modeling work and auditions from here and there and I participated in everything that came my way.

Now I am looking forward to give my 200% in this field of modeling and acting and getting here and sharing all about me is a part of nothing but that………..pursuit of happiness.

 

Career Objective
