“I enjoyed every part of being in front of an audience and expressing myself. It’s very interesting to be someone and then to be yourself again,” he said.
The actor who grew up in New Delhi, India, originally wanted to apply to India’s prestigious National Drama School, which produces some of the country’s top actors. However, South Korea called him.
He then took the compulsory exam and received a scholarship to Arts Major Asia which was available to study theater at Korea National University of the Arts. He finally managed to get a bachelor’s degree in 2010.
After graduating, Anupam also received offers to star in several South Korean films and series such as “Ode to My Father”, “Descendants of the Sun” and “Space Sweepers”. However, Anupam’s name has gained recognition since his role as Ali in “Squid Game”.
“This is just a starting point for me. Let’s see how far I can get better as an actor or my profession,” Anupam said.
