College of Commerce and Economics in Mumbai, Singh realised that getting a break in the film industry was not at all easy, as it was mostly people with a film background who got these opportunities.
At the university, he decided to take acting classes and took up theatre as his minor.After completing his studies and returning to Mumbai in 2007, Singh worked for a few years in advertising as a copywriter, with agencies like O&M and J. He would go for all kinds of auditions, but did not get any good opportunities, while only getting calls for minor roles: "Everything was so bleak.Walter Thompson.He then worked as an assistant director, but left it to pursue acting. He then decided to send his portfolio to directors. It was very frustrating. There were times I would think whether I was doing the right thing or not."
