I have been a part of four different genres - a political satire, gangster drama, thriller and period drama.
Audiences are open to experimentation these days - that's a boon for me.
The British series I was part of, 'Beecham House,' directed by Gurinder Chadha, was set in 1795. That was also an incredible experience, just to see the kind of research that goes into recreating that time period.
Mom is really my closest friend and has been there at every stage. She is the adventurous kinds and made me travel by train alone when I was just five.
The great thing about 'Mirzapur' is that no one character is clear black or white, every character is working in a grey shade.
I will definitely direct feature films one day.
Sometimes you have to spoon feed filmmakers to let them know 'I am capable of this.'
I have always been fascinated by Indian history and architecture.
We need to realise that not everyone can take the path to overnight success. Take actors such as Rajkummar Rao and Vicky Kaushal - they have built their work and profile over the years to get to where they are.
