It feels nice to be wanted, to be reading and hearing good things about me, so I have to push myself.

I am methodical to the point of being obsessive-compulsive. And I have always been good at multi-tasking.

I've grown up watching Shah Rukh Khan and never really imagined that one day I will get to play the lead opposite him.

I have always been focused on my job. No profession allows you the luxury of being half-focused. If you're not into it, you're not there. And the film industry is all the more harsh in these cases, perhaps because it's a business of the limelight.

I wish to be appreciated not only as a film star but also for the person I am. If I manage to bring a smile on people's faces, then I think I'll be successful.

When I am told that I am a huge star, I accept it, knowing that success is relative - the films I do have to work.

I have always believed that chemistry can't be created between two people. You either have it or you don't. The script can only enhance it.
