People in Bengal know me because of my stint in 'Bigg Boss,' 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' and the Bollywood flicks.
When I first heard the script of 'Brishti Brishti,' I was really excited. The film will require me to break away from the typical Ravi Kishan mould. Getting under the skin of my character will be a big challenge.
I am from Banaras and I have seen several aghoris. They are mysterious and their way of life is quite intriguing.
Winning an award is always a special moment.
I am really blessed to have good people around me.
I have done many films and I do around 10 films a year in Bhojpuri industry. Running to different locations is time consuming. However, I can't take break from work.
I am very much inspired by the life of Modi ji.
In 2014, I heard Modi ji speak about toilets. For the first time, I saw a prime minister with such an outlook. I was impressed.
I want to make it clear that I don't have any competition with other Bhojpuri actors.
I can say that I'm a superstar now.
I have been doing Bhojpuri films since quite some time, have achieved stardom over there and have a huge fan following.
I don't have any problem playing second lead, or doing supporting roles. I am fine with it.
I want to do good, strong roles.
When I choose a script I look for a good storyline, there should be good supporting star cast, director and banner as it helps in getting a decent release.
Bollywood is where I started from and learnt acting, whereas Bhojpuri cinema has got me superstardom. So, for me Bollywood is like a father and Bhojpuri cinema is my mother - there can't be a choice.
I was born in a temple to a priest father, in a place like Benaras. So, my upbringing has been influenced by such surroundings.
If we want our kids to learn about the true essence of life, we have to take time out of our busy schedule and teach them the values before it is too late.
Film festivals is a great way to display good cinema.
I am a Brahmin.
A criminal has no caste and is only a criminal.
