New Delhi, July 29 - Heir to the erstwhile princely state of Bhareh in Uttar Pradesh, Anant Narayan is all set to make his Bollywood debut and says his royal background "never stopped" him from living his dreams, be it as a journalist or as an actor.

"My royal background never stopped me from doing anything. It gave me the boost to step out of my cocoon. I wanted to prove myself and earn the position of a prince that I have been honoured with since birth," Anant, 23, told IANS. Bhareh is in Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh.

Bollywood's latest chocolate boy Anant Narayan is inundated with film offers. But producers put only one condition - they want Anant to be paired opposite "alleged" girlfriend actress Minissha Lamba
