The primary goal is to entertain people because... Fortunately, the kind of movies I have been doing have a certain message, they break taboos, and they are socially relevant. So it's a great mix of content and entertainment.
I am not in every picture I post, and my social media is not only for film promotions. I don't feel comfortable with that. Yes, I'll post something promotional now and then, but rest of the time, it is like any other social media account.
From musicals to plays, I was part of all things theatrical all through my school life in Chandigarh, and this helped me develop a strong love for theatre and acting. Even during college, I was active in the theatre scene and even founded two theatre groups.
Nobody tells you that they don't believe in you. I had tremendous self-belief and faith in my sensibilities.
People have a very short attention span when it comes to television, but nobody forgets the movie you do.
I think cricket and cinema are two big entities in the country. If you are part of either, you are sorted.
I was very nervous as a child and had stage fright.
I played Shylock in my school's staging of 'Merchant of Venice.'
I have taken lot of risks in life, and I believe that life is about taking risks.
I think every film is like a team game, especially for me. I have always got films which have a strong cast.
You have to have a macro outlook, see the film in totality, whether it will resonate with people or not.
I believe in the fact that to portray a character convincingly, you need to live that character, own that character. You have to be earnest with every line that you deliver. However, it doesn't mean that you have to cut off your true self.
Nobody will tell you that you're typecast until your films aren't working; if it's working, they'll call it your 'zone.'
Writers have always been very underrated.
I learnt so much from all my films, successful or unsuccessful.
I always thought millennials are going westward, and they probably won't understand vernacular poetry.
I have certain viewpoints that come out in certain shayaris.
