Class I to XII wasn't much help; I was always a mediocre student. But when I pursued higher education and studied economics with theatre or psychology with science fiction, I got a whole new world view.

Someday social media might, hopefully in some small measure, wake up to the fact that other people's failures are not your successes.

The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent.

I auditioned nine times for 'Delhi Belly,' and it was torturous!

In a big Bollywood romantic film, taking my shirt off and spreading the hand towards the mountain with dancers behind me are not my cup of tea.

All of the films I'm doing are young, urban, high-concept, funny films. That's the zone where I'd like to play and have fun in.

You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in.
