He explained that although it was not his intention to enter nursing, the conditions of living abroad necessitated his switch from the arts to science.

"An art person like me should never think of working in a hospital but if you travel and want to be smart and find out, you will…It's all travel and see it’s not easy but you have to do what you got to do,” he noted

While Banini misses acting, he says his nursing career has taught him confidence and time management skills applicable to movie sets. The 64-year-old also praised the US for offering opportunities regardless of age.
