“I have four elder sisters, and being the youngest, I was pampered.”

I experienced a lot of things while I was working with Dibakar Banerjee.

I love layering with great fitting jackets.

It’s cruel to compare two actors working with two different filmmakers on two different characters.

Everybody is in a hurry to decode you in a certain way, and then they expect you to adhere to their definition. How can they possibly do that when you yourself are finding it hard to discover yourself?

When I am in front of the camera or on stage, I am not me.

The best thing is to accept the circumstances, not take them personally, deal with them, stop complaining, and give everything your best.

I despise women wearing too much makeup. It hides their actual beauty.

Bringing out your vulnerable side and shedding your privacy in front of complete strangers is so very difficult, but when you are into the performance, the relief and release is so extraordinary that you get addicted.

For me, the opposite of happiness isn’t sadness but boredom.

I’ve been a fan of Dhoni for years. I’ve seen him play for India for over 10 years.

I’m a trained engineer, so I’m conditioned to come up with a right answer to a difficult question, but when it comes to art, there is no definite answer because it’s so subjective.

I wanted to be a cricketer. But I was not skilled enough to be a national-level cricketer.

I will continue doing things irrespective of the medium as long as I’m excited about it.

Everything happening around me is very random. I am enjoying the phase, as the journey is far more enjoyable than the destination.

I take time to open up with people. But once I know you, I’m fine. I’m a shy person.

I’ve stopped taking myself seriously because now I understand how fickle my thoughts are.

I come from a poor family.

I was always very dramatic – my family would probably use the word ‘dramatic’ – as a child; always putting on performances, making everyone come watch, and pay to watch. I was very business-savvy as a child.

There are a lot of really good Punjabi films with great content pertaining to family drama, romance, and history.

We were a very crunchy, sort of hippie-dippy family.

My brother has not spoken to me in years. Something to do with Donald Trump or Jesus Christ or our horrible stepfather.

Did our fathers create silence or is it that what makes them our fathers?

Hundreds of millions of human beings on our planet increasingly suffer from unemployment, poverty, hunger, and the destruction of their families.

I don’t know about you, but I love going on trips – especially with my family.
