The fact is I've always been such a big Bollywood fan, from the time I was very young. I remember I'd watch new Bollywood films every Thursday night on a video cassette.

My parents were like these hippies almost: they are free-spirited, but they were also strict - which seems like a weird dynamic - but it worked.

I romanticise every moment of my life, and that is why I have fallen in love with life.

I have dealt with criticism from my first drama, and I think that is a part of our profession. It brings me down but definitely pushes me to do better.

I'd love to work with Vishal Bhardwaj and Imtiaz Ali.

As a child, I used to steal Indian film magazines.

The success of 'Humsafar' comes with an added responsibility that whatever I do next has to be as good if not better, and I also don't want to miss out on my son's growing up years.

I want every single person to like my work.

I have a lot of respect for actors who do comedy. They do it naturally.

I do feel it's tougher to make a comic scene work than performing an intense scene, for example.
