I started by sneaking out to go do these things. Luckily I started off as a model. Back in the days before the home video industry, I did a lot of commercial modeling, runways, TV commercials, calendars. So it was way easier. You can go in daytime, do a quick shoot and come back home. And my father is unlikely to see it because he is not in the world of that.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>But many occasions when I came back late from shoots, he asked me to go back to wherever I was coming from. From all the sneaking out and of course, there was passion. I just knew that I was happy when I\u2019m in this [entertainment] space.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>And I think what broke the camel\u2019s back, eventually, I tried to read pharmacy but it wasn\u2019t happening then I eventually went into computer science.

So I left because it wasn\u2019t interesting anymore.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cThen, I took a decision to leave home.
