Ravi Dubey is one of the most popular faces on television. The actor has often struck gold with his choice of roles and his teleserials. However, surprisingly the actor came to Mumbai not to become an actor but to become an engineer. During a recent interaction he said becoming an actor seemed a far=fetched idea from he came from.

Talking about his journey in Mumbai, Ravi told a leading daily, “I come from Gurgaon where being an actor was a far-fetched idea. Therefore like everyone else I was looking at the other inclinations that I may have within me. That’s when my dad suggested I should be an engineer as a plan B for life. However, my father in his heart and mind always knew that I will find my place in this creative industry and that’s why I chose Mumbai and not any other city for pursuing Engineering. Whatever his foresight was, it came into being and in my 3rd year of college I started doing a lot of commercials and eventually entered the television industry and by God’s grace now, Sargun and I, we are producing content for television. Honestly, I am nothing but grateful for everything that I have in my life."
