His own heart however was rooted in the world of film and throughout the six years of medicine, he continued to harbor a desire to try his hand at acting in the Indian film industry. In 2009, after receiving his medical degree, Anshuman returned to Mumbai and enrolled in one of the city's prominent acting schools.
