Currently, I am: Shooting for the Esports World Cup announcement with a brand.Raj Varma’s most star-struck moment was when he met Virat Kohli last year.High point in life: The day I fulfilled my parents’ dream and bought our family our first home in Mumbai.Low point in life: A day before an esports tournament, I fractured my arm while arm wrestling. It almost cost me my career. But it taught me valuable lessons about the unpredictability of life.On my playlist: Innerbloom, by Rüfüs Du Sol; Music Sounds Better with You, by Stardust; Purple Noise, by Boris Brejcha.One thing I would never buy: Expensive shoes.Today I’m craving: Hyderabad’s special Govind dosa.Last thing I ordered online: My moto-vlogging gear from DJI.App I check before going to bed: Whoop, the health app.Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self: Stay away from people who are with you only because they benefit from you.My favourite subject in school: Maths.I’d swipe right on: Honesty.My secret skill: I’m good at badminton.A superpower I wish I had: A time machine. I just want to know which year I’ll buy my dream car.My favourite Sunday memory: Early morning gully cricket with friends, followed by breakfast of hot idli and vada.My most star-struck moment: Meeting Virat Kohli, last year for a shoot. I still have that picture as my wallpaper because I still can’t believe it happened.My favourite bad habit: I don’t think about calories before eating.If I could travel back or forward in time, I’d… Change nothing. I’m proud of myself and the phases I’ve gone through in life. Everything happens for a reason.The best thing about fame: Interacting with fans, meeting people from different cities and states, and feeling blessed with the love and support they show you.The worst thing about fame: You can’t step out with loved ones and enjoy moments without getting noticed. But most of the time, fans respect my space.From HT Brunch, June 27, 2026Follow us on www.instagram.com/htbrunch
