“Performing in front of the camera is a different thing, and shooting a whole film is another.”

I don’t believe in chasing people for work.

I wish I could read people’s minds.

For me, my work, family, and fans are the most important; rest is just there.

It’s very funny that I’m being appreciated for my dance moves because when I was young, I was made fun of, as nobody thought I was able to dance.

Of course you cannot compare my Hindi with a Hindi-speaking person, but I am confident enough to hold a conversation in mixed Hindi-English.

I’m an artiste… I dance, I act, and I do a lot of things that’s got to do with arts, and that’s my space. I feel happiest in that space.

I had a vision of bringing two cultures together, and I have said this in the past: my goal is to bring Morocco and India together through music and art.

One does not have to get frustrated with getting an opportunity, whether it is film, short film, web series or TV shows… As an entertainer, opportunities have expanded.

Trolling is a cyber-crime, and if you are caught for it, you cannot run away by saying that it is your opinion.

My family is from Morocco, and I was born and raised in Canada, but I’m an Indian at heart, for sure.

Everytime I put a dance video out on social media, my fans love it, and the reaction I get online is mind blowing.

As ‘Dilbar’ has become a huge hit internationally, including Middle East, we have taken the song and re-composed it, written Arabic and Moroccan lyrics, and we recorded, with me singing with Fnaire.

Raftaar is a sensible musician and respects women, music, and his fans!

I am keen to work in romantic stories and dramas.

I love what I do, and I take projects as they come.

I’d like to act in Punjabi films and do some great roles instead of just dance sequences.

In the theater, while you recognized that you were looking at a house, it was a house in quotation marks. On screen, the quotation marks tend to be blotted out by the camera.

When you’re in front of the camera, for a small budget or a big budget movie, there’s no difference.

I’ve been in front of the camera a million times as a musician, and even directed a few music videos. So, I know a lot about spacing, focus, blocking, etcetera. So, acting isn’t totally new for me. Still, I find it fascinating, because you actually get to be another person.

From the beginning, the camera and I were great friends. It loves me, and I love it.

I think I’m better behind the camera than I am in front.

Once you develop a comfort level with someone, that translates on camera.

It is important to understand what are you trying to capture with a camera. What you want to use this tool for. It helps to begin to search for and concentrate on thematic photography.

I began working with a family camera. It was called a Kodak Autographic, which was one of those things where you flopped it open and pulled out the bellows. And I’ve been at it ever since – I’ve never stopped.
