Since my mother was an actress, I have been doing work on and off for what seems like forever so I don’t remember if it was on my mind or not but I hated doing some of the commercials that were too childish for me since I wanted to be a heroine at that time. I used to cry but still did those embarrassing bubblegum ads because my mom wanted me to do them to gain confidence as I was an introvert in school.”
We met on the sets of our first drama together. Gradually I realized that we have a lot in common and I really liked her but she was very young at that time and I did not want to hurt her in any way. We were separated and out of touch for a long time after that. I backed out because I was not ready to get married. But when we were apart for a few days I realized that this is the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
Indian films are mindblowing, but TV dramas are elongated and not reality based. Our shows are based on reality and they are not just about one section of people. Our shows are about poor, middle-class and elite… everyone.”
Anees Bazmee called me and praised my drama serial and asked me to work in his film. I asked him about the story and the character I’d portray, but refused to sign the movie because it required me to play a bold character. I’ve never faced any restrictions from my family about working in Bollywood movies, but I’ve always known my limits. That’s why I never do anything that may be shameful for me or my family. may be from the entertainment industry, but I’m always careful when selecting my wardrobe.”
