I don't regret being on television; I just regret the fact that I wanted to be in the movies, and that didn't happen.
Even when I was young, with a limited amount of money and exposure, I tried to look my best. I like to follow trends and stand out. I have always had that fashion sense. But with the time, age, money, and experience, I have made a conscious effort to stand out.
I thank God because he has given me work somewhere or the other.
I do feel I have all the qualities of a film star but then why didn't I make it that big? I blame it on my destiny. I was not there at the right place at the right time.
I am not a person to compromise on my priorities and family just for a show.
I will never create a romantic angle to survive on a game show.
In films, you work for three to six months, and you're out of the character. But for a daily soap, you don't have that luxury. So the character has to be convincing. Otherwise, your mind is not in it, and you're just working for money, which is a good amount in serials. But I want both: good acting and good money.
Long kurtas, especially the pink and yellow ones, that I had worn in 'Big Boss 8' - they are very comfortable to wear. You can wear them with a just a belt for your day outings or lunches for stylish and classy look. Or you can also team it up with a churidar and dupatta for an evening outing to look more classy.
Audiences have taken a liking for supernatural and fantasy shows. The genre is doing well on the small screen, and I wanted to get into that mould. I have never played a naagin, and such roles have always intrigued me.
I will only talk about my work. I have always stayed away from commenting on my personal life, and that remains unchanged.
I was dancing when I was acting as well. Actors generally dance in performances like in an award function.
It is very difficult for us to establish identity in films. It is not easy to break through your stereotype image from television and form a new identity on the big screen.
