Mom is really my closest friend and has been there at every stage. She is the adventurous kinds and made me travel by train alone when I was just five.

Some basic things I have picked up from Dad is how to interpret my character correctly, use the camera to my advantage and how not to hurry up with work.

I will definitely direct feature films one day.

People think that I'm not interested in doing Marathi films, but that's not true. Marathi cinema is very close to my heart.

The love and respect that my parents have gained through their body of work is unmatchable. My goal is not to surpass their stardom or anybody's stardom for that matter, but to create an identity of my own.

Audiences are open to experimentation these days - that's a boon for me.

I would want to create something new instead of following others.

Though the contemporary shows are good, I prefer sitcoms like my father's.

For me, it has always been a dream to 'travel to work' and 'work to travel.'

I have been a part of four different genres - a political satire, gangster drama, thriller and period drama.
