His first gig was to help one of the renowned music composers based in the city to complete the lyrics of a song. He worked really hard and after completing the task he came back to Ujjain to play in a Cricket match.

Dinesh says that during the Cricket match, he happened to fracture his hand as the ball hit it. And on the same day, ETC released the promo of the song of which he had helped write the lyrics. This event completely changed things for him. He left everything behind and moved to Mumbai and this was his first conscious step into the Film Industry of the city.

Dinesh considers Osho as his biggest inspiration, influence, and role model.

Talking about Education and Experience, Dinesh says that our modern-day Education is just infusing information in us without filling the void therein. And one’s Experience is not about making them feel that they know everything rather it’s about making them learn more and more with time.
