He played the nationals in 1990 and later represented India at international tournaments in Southeast Asia and even reached Junior Wimbledon. He was all set for a career in tennis, but destiny had something else in store for him.Bikram had a successful career on the ramp and was very successful when he wanted to do something different. He moved on to theatre and did music videos with Bali Brahmbhatt´s Tere bin jeena nahin with Anupama Verma and later with Asha Bhosle´s Parde mein rahne do. After doing plays like Vasavadatta, The Big A and Kiski biwi kiska shohar, where Bikram's efforts were appreciated by a select few, he decided to try a hand in films.
