Since I was inexperienced in films, I thought it would be very intimidating to work with experienced people like Sanjay Suri and Samir Soni. But I must say they are very encouraging. They clapped when I gave a good shot.

All the big actors are now on TV, and all the big actors have come from TV. It’s a great platform.

My favourite place in the ‘Bigg Boss 9’ house was sky lounge, where the cool group would go and chill.

I’ve got my head down, working hard, while others are chasing other frivolous things.

Trolls and cyber bullies have been feeling too safe in the cyber world for too long.

Love will not happen in three-four weeks.

I don’t believe in chasing people for work.

I wish I could read people’s minds.

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

In communal society, where there are virtually no class divisions, man’s productive activities on outlook and culture is less discernible. Account must be taken of the psychology of conflicting classes.

Because of the Chinese culture of obedience, you don’t ask questions… You follow and obey.
