As an actor, I've grown considerably. It's taken me years to get comfortable doing a romantic scene and dancing on stage in front of a live audience. I've really opened up a lot.

Parineeta is a classic love story.

As an actor, I am meant to dabble with different themes and genres.

I have always done films with friends rather than strangers.

Passion gives me emotional strength... Passion means power!

Kolkata is the relatively unexplored part of India as far as Hindi films are concerned.

As a person, I'm pretty much the same except that I've come to terms with who my real friends and supporters are. I don't get particularly friendly with new people at first go.
