Debut from Television ad’

Saruk started his career from TVC of cheese rings.  “I was seen on screen first in a TVC of cheese rings that I used to be embarrassed about. I was studying at the bachelor’s level when a new student pointed at me asking ‘you were in that cheese ring’s ad’ that time I told her ‘No’,” shared Saruk.

Has a crooked nose

Saruk says he has a crooked nose that goes unnoticed. He explained, “When I was in grade eight there used to be a boy who bullied me and one day we had a fight. He hit me on the nose and I had bleeding. Later I found that my nose is slightly crooked.”
