I still feel there are certain questions, which are personal, which only my parents or maybe the ones who are really close to me have the right to ask. View quote

I no longer do a film for the wrong reasons. I have to be convinced ethically and morally. Both the director and I have to be on the same page. There are just five songs in most films these days, and they have to be amazing. There has to be a twist in the screenplay. The editing has to be crisp. Your hard work should show, but effortlessly.

He was most helpful since I was very new when we started work on the film. Initially, I was a little distant but being a romantic film topped with large doses of comedy, it was important for us to build a rapport.

In person he is very different from the image that is portrayed of him and what I learnt about him in this short span, is that he is highly misunderstood. View quote
