Near Jehangir Art Gallery,  he began working as a travel agent for a company he found through a friend. An accountant at an advertising firm saw him waiting for the bus and approached him to see if he was interested in modelling.

As well as Hero, he also appeared in films like Andar Baahar. Both Jaanoo and Yudh achieved their goals. His 1986 film Karma was the year’s biggest moneymaker. The movie Kaash was his subsequent offering. Dahleez and Sachché Ká Bol-Bálá, two later films, received rave reviews but bombed at the box office.
