Ali shared: “I had to sell my car because I was not able to pay the EMIs, and there came a time when only Rs 50 thousand was left in my account and all my savings were gone. Made a very bad impression, but I dedicated 3-4 years to learning music theory and DJing.

The actor, known for his roles in shows like 'Amber Dhara', 'Saat Phere: Saloni Ka Safar', 'Luteri Dulhan' and 'Hum Ne Li Hai - Shapath', is all set to make his Bollywood debut with a film . Produced by Faizuddin Siddiqui.

Ali said that "I kept going to watch different theater plays to forget what I had learned in TV and learn new forms of acting."

Ali also shares the most important lessons he learned from taking that risk and how those lessons have shaped his approach to decision-making.

"The most important lesson I learned was to always do what your heart says because it will last long. The mind will always keep you in doubt, keeping you from choosing a safe decision. In the performing arts, always listen to your heart."

The actor discussed the specific moment when he thought the risk he had taken was going to pay off or, conversely, when he thought it might lead to failure.

Ali shared: "That's when I started doing well in DJing and was traveling on more than 250 flights every year. This helped me understand the art of realistic acting better."

“Watching a lot of world cinema helped me connect, and when I completed my first film, I felt that my decision to leave TV was the right one. This gave me great satisfaction as an artist. Now, I am eagerly waiting for the release so that I can continue working on good projects and can easily connect with the people I want to work with."
