“What keeps me going are my learnings, which I would rather call my ‘experience,’ and my urge to explore.”

You can’t make two films at the same time.

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

Theatre is a must for actors. They should try it at least once. It makes you disciplined, teaches you to respect your work, and boosts your confidence as an actor.

Everything that is somehow related to direction and filmmaking fascinates me, like cinematography.

The more I learn about things, I realise how wrong I was before.

My favourite actor is Daniel Day Lewis. He’s the finest actor in Hollywood. I’ve studied his performances.

If you are seeing something for the first time, one of your first reactions should be fascination.

My exercise regime is a mix of gymming, marital arts, sports, etc.

Cricketers have to perform in front of millions, and there are no retakes. If then you become a hero, you deserve all the accolades coming your way.

I come from a family of doctors and engineers, and everyone expected me to take up a similar career. That was the most natural thing to do!

I was a studious child, heavily into academics. For the longest time, I wouldn’t talk.

I crave for adventure. It makes me feel alive and excited. It’s a constant tussle between what you want to do and other parameters that aren’t in your hands.

To be able to make statements, you need to be confident about what you think. You need to have a sense of right and wrong.

Dibakar and Shekhar have the vision that we would associate with European cinema. They leave their actors on their own to give a personal narration on the screen.

I cannot think that I am a good cricketer and just become one. For this, one needs skill.

My strength would be my honesty and my passion towards my work.

I’m gonna write from personal experience, from emotion, from whatever the hell I’m feeling that day.

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.

Everything else you see and experience in this world is effect, and that includes your feelings. The cause is always your thoughts.
