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

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.

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

But it is not conscious strategy to go for unconventional roles.

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

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

An outsider can see some things much better.
