Within a single year, Mr. Mani went from an entrepreneur who daydreamed about being in movies to a successful actor and fashion model, turning his dreams into a reality.
Throughout his life, while conducting business and overseeing construction sites, goal-oriented work, and boundless perseverance have served Mr. Mani well. These meticulous jobs require rigorous structure and time-management skills in order to prosper, and in the past year, Mr. Mani has been surprised to realize just how directly all of those skills translate to acting and modeling.

What Mr. Mani Has Learned
Through it all, Mr. Mani has remained attentive, curious, and empathetic. To this end, he offers three key pieces of advice that he has found to be true throughout his career, regardless of the field:
Do what you love.
Mr. Mani believes that life is too short not to pursue your ultimate dreams. As Mahatma Gandhi once famously said, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” In many ways, Mr. Mani’s journey is a testament to this idea.
Believe in your dreams, and they will come true.
Mr. Mani’s tale is unconventional, and it speaks to the fact that if you believe in your dreams, they often come true in the most unexpected of ways. Though many would have told him to give up on this pie-in-the-sky idea simply, he remained optimistic and never let the obstacles or hurdles put in his path shake his conviction. Today, he is living his dream, all because of his unrelenting belief in himself.
Set your goals and do everything you can to achieve them.
Mr. Mani believes that by dedicating yourself to the fulfillment of your dreams and goals, waking up every day, and painstakingly pulling yourself one step closer to the ultimate endgame, anything is possible.
Embracing Change and Challenges
Mr. Mani’s life has changed so much over the course of the past year, and he’s not sure what it means for the future of his various careers, but he enjoys every moment of the ride. “It's very difficult to say. In a few years, I could just be doing my new dream job and doing what I love most, which is just being in front of the camera and in front of people. I'm looking forward to the next few years. I'm sure they'll be a lot of fun, and you'll certainly get to see a lot more,” he says.
