Sumedh Mudgalkar has earned love and fame with his work in the show RadhaKrishn. However, while we now cherish witnessing his work on the screen, his early days as an artist were full of struggle, which you might not be aware of.

The actor began his career as a dancer, and later also worked in a dance-based show Dil Dosti Dance. With that, he has recently shared a video from his first-ever on-screen appearance, as he participated in a regional dance reality show.

In the video, we can see him performing on stage, with some killer break-dance moves in front of the judges. Sharing the video, he wrote a long note, saying “First appearance on screen- 18th December 2012. 9 Years to this day. I remember I was giving my all in, just so I don’t get kicked out of the audition’. Since this date, life has been a roller coaster. Ups and downs I cherish. I am thankful to those who supported me, to those who guided me, scolded me, helped me even financially when I had nothing. My mentors, my friends, my colleagues! Biggies who provided me opportunities! I’m grateful. Thank you my ‘sumedhians’. Idk from where ya’ll get this much love for me! But I can just say I am grateful! My family, my close ones, and I am proud to have my fans. And I will never let ya’ll down. And lastly just as everyone’s journey consists, the people who had the biggest contribution in my journey, the naysayers, the people who judged the person before he grew, people who always chose to see negative in me, People who I trusted and was bad-mouthed by the same. People who still secretly dislike. Thank you. You all gave me different insights to look towards, life, towards my own self. When some of you were so hard on me, I learnt my flaws, sometimes I learnt to cherish the good in me not waiting for others to cherish it. And therefore realised how important self-love is! If you are reading this, in whichever category you fall! Know, my life and my journey, is incomplete without your contribution! Over the period, my immature mind thinks I might have learnt, what this journey is about. ‘Now its not about giving it all coz of the fear of getting kicked out, Now, its about giving it all in, coz you love doing so!’Thank you, everyone!”
