I hold postgraduate degrees in “Journalism & Mass Communication” and “Medieval & Modern Indian History” from Lucknow University, where I topped in both subjects. Additionally, I pursued a course in Handicraft Development from the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), New Delhi.

काशी में ये मेरा आज का तीसरा कार्यक्रम है। सबसे पहले मैं आध्यात्म के कुंभ में था। फिर आधुनिकता के कंुभ में गया, बनारस के लिए सैकड़ों करोड़ की योजनाओं का लोकार्पण और शिलान्यास किया और अब मैं एक प्रकार से स्वरोजगार के कुंभ में पहुंच गया हूं।- 16 फरवरी, 2020
