Aasif’s
Father
Almost
Disowned
Him
Aasif
told
the
leading
daily,
"My
father
had
almost
disowned
me
when
I
told
him
I
would
like
to
pursue
a
career
in
theatre.
He
was
disappointed
with
my
career
choice
and
felt
that
theatre
isn't
a
career."
The
Actor
Didn’t
Have
Money
Or
Shelter
He
further
added,
"The
journey
was
filled
with
roadblocks
as
I
wasn't
from
an
influential
family.
I
had
quite
a
tough
time
settling
in
this
city
as
I
had
no
money
and
no
shelter
to
depend
on.
I
had
to
sell
off
the
only
gold
chain
that
I
had
with
me
to
survive
in
the
city.
For
the
longest
time
I
didn't
have
money
to
buy
food
for
survival
and
survived
on
noodles
for
weeks
after
weeks.
Those
days
taught
me
a
lot
about
life
and
reality."
The
Actor
Was
Barely
18
When
He
Started
Working
On
His
First
Show
Aasif
started
off
with
theatre.
He
worked
as
a
theatre
help
in
plays
and
essayed
extremely
small
roles.
He
revealed,
"I
was
barely
18
when
I
started
working
for
my
first
show.
I
remember
how
nervous
I
was
about
auditioning
for
the
role
and
I
almost
ran
away
from
the
studio."
The
Actor
Says…
"It
was
quite
a
surprise
to
me
that
I
got
selected.
This
show
made
me
pave
my
way
into
the
industry
and
thereafter
there
was
no
looking
back.
With
the
success,
my
father
accepted
my
career
and
welcomed
me
with
open
arms.
These
formative
days
were
the
toughest
of
my
career."
