He was not completely into modeling and never thought to pursue acting as a career. He wished to be a Doctor but his parents intended him to complete Masters in business and take care of their family business. He obliged and completed Masters in Business at Wake Forest University in North California in the year 1993.

The huge break in his life was offered in the subsequent year 1992 by Mani Ratnam himself to portray him as the lead role for the movie Roja which broke the shackles at the time by touching upon the subject of terrorism which most others declined. Arvind Swamy’s parents were against it since they wished to complete his master degree. At this moment Mani Ratnam himself convinced them to allow doing the lead role.
