Career
To fulfill his dreams, Parmish Verma took a big decision to leave his job in Australia, where he settled with permanent residence. He returned to his hometown in Punjab to pursue his passion.
First he went to Mumbai to start his career in acting and direction. Within six months he got a lead role in a TV serial. However, he turned it down because he wanted to be more creative rather than being stuck in a stable job for two years. He went back to Punjab with the determination to do constructive work for the people there.
His first major project was a short film titled Jimmewadi Bhookh Te Doori – The Story of a Teenage Migrant. He wrote and directed this film inspired by his life struggles. The film went viral and received a very positive response from people in Punjab. Many Punjabi artists shared his film, which helped him gain recognition.
After this, Parmish got many offers to direct music videos, but initially it did not bring him much fame. His big break came from the music video of Ninja’s song “Thokda Reha”, which became a hit and established him as an accomplished video director in the Punjabi music industry.
Personal Life
Parmish Verma grew up in Patiala, Punjab. He went to Yadavindra Public School, Patiala but was not very good in studies. He started a hotel management course but left it due to lack of interest in it. He then moved to Australia to live with his aunt and worked as a waiter in a pub.
In an interview, Parmish said that his time in Australia was difficult. He worked long hours cleaning utensils and often had no money. But eventually his hard work paid off and he got a job as a sales manager in a fitness club. Even after this success, he decided to return to Punjab to fulfill his dream of becoming a filmmaker. This proved to be the best decision of his life.
