He was all set to embark on the engineering profession until his father's sudden death on 28 October 2014 that forced him to take a plunge into the world of politics at the age of 28. But he performed exceedingly well after winning the by-polls on a Congress ticket from Risod constituency in Washim district. The seat was left vacant after his father Subhash Zanak, former minister state minister for women and child development, died due to a cardiac arrest. Even, his grandfather was an MLA from Medshi in 1980 and he is simply following his family's legacy.
