Actor Arslan Goni has established himself as an artist through various shows. However, things have not been a cake walk for him. The actor reveals that he was able to follow his dreams and walk through the hardships only because of the support of his family.
Talking about the initial challenges in the city, he adds, “Getting a house was the first thing. A Kashmiri Muslim getting a house is the quite difficult and it was the initial challenge I faced. It took me a lot of time to get what I wanted.”
Though he loves Mumbai, Goni misses his family and his hometown Bhaderwah, Jammu. “That’s why I visit my home and Kashmir often, at least 3-4 times every year. All actually depends upon my family, wherever they are, I go there,” he shares.
The actor, who's the cousin brother 'Bigg Boss' contestant Aly Goni is also an actor, says his family's support has helped him sail through the turbulent times.
"They've (his parents) supported me throughout and didn't have issues with what I'm doing and how much time I’m taking to make my decisions. My parents, my sister have always respected my choices. I'm extremely happy to have such a good and kind family. I left Kashmir when I was 8 years old. I went to boarding school. After finishing 12th I came to Mumbai to study law," says the actor.
