Ummer completed his graduation in engineering because his parents wanted him to become a government employee even in the beginning of the career they were worried of him choosing this stream as his career, they were convinced once he started appearing on the televisions and people started talking about his achievement in the film industry. Though during his school everyone liked him performing on stages, and singing but choosing this as a option for whole life was itself a big question for a boy from valley who always chased his dreams and further shifted from engineering to acting and modeling. His parents, relatives, friends, teacher were the one who helped him to attempt what he wanted since it was a completely different stream for a boy Kashmir where even movie theaters are not functional. Moral support from society is always something which helps to pursue such career and progress in the same, it the person around him who helped him identify what he is good at and motivated to continue the same. He believes that opting for watching movies as an entertainment will soon be resumed in the valley since it acts as a stress buster for many and given the development in the union territory the day is not far when he can see himself on the big screen in one of the movie theater in Kahsmir.
