He said growing up in a remote community with no transportation, infrastructure or utility facilities meant he had to teach himself all of his skills, using the sandbank of the local river as his practice location. He was inspired by Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Tony Jaa and Nikhil Uprety and started practicing his own stunts.
