I just want to grow as an actor and work with good directors.
When I told my father that I wanted to join the film industry, he asked me if I was sure about it, as acting is a very insecure profession. He also asked me if my reason to join the same profession like him was to have an easy road. I said no.
When I was growing up, my father never got his profession to the house. We didn't discuss films on the dining table.
The only benefit of my dad being in the film industry was that I got a reality check right from the start. I wasn't delusional and didn't want to be an actor just for the glamour.
For me, the story must be the hero of the film. The screen space or the length of my role does not matter.
I aspire to be a part of a good story, because then, the actor will automatically shine through.
A hero could be anyone who does something heroic, irrespective of the gender.
Nobody can negate the fact that there is a section - not only in media but in every field - which indulge in wrong things.
At home, our focus has always been academics and playing.
The first time I ever went on set was during 'Fiza' when I was in Class X.
I was a huge fan of Hrithik Roshan.
I talk out of experience that relationships don't get messy; it's our heads that are messy. People's expectations and beliefs screw up relationships.
My dad met my mom just once before their marriage.
Love is not complicated; people are, and that is changing the perception of love.
The biggest validation comes from my parents, because they know me in and out.
I look for stories that are different because that is how I will grow as a performer.
When I became an actor, I knew that there were only two ways of going about it - either I become an actor who has expectations, or the reverse of it.
Every character comes with its own challenges.
I was just a regular kid who was interested in studying, playing cricket, and watching movies.
However good an actor may be, he can't make a scene believable on his own, so it has to be a team work.
