In India I've been to all the award functions, but that was in Hindi; now it's in English so it's a much bigger scale.

I ran away from my house when I was about 12 years old to audition for a film.

I have lot of respect of filmmakers who work in Telugu and Tamil.

India has the purity, the innocence. India knows what it wants. There is a direction. It has so much to offer.

If you make a feelgood film which is complete candyfloss, where everybody is good and everything is beautiful and hunky dory, it won't appeal to the audience.

There are hurdles, there are handicaps, hardships you have to face in life, but you hope for a great future.

Not exactly but I get inspiration from stories which are unconventional.
