Not once in my life have I done theatre. Being on stage is not my thing.

In life, I have been a very lucky person; I have had a good married life, good friends, though I am not as educated as I would have liked to be.

Not comfortable doing song and dance stuff as no normal person does in his/her real life.

Everyone wants to relive their life once again, but if I had the chance, I would do it in the exact same fashion.

Everyone has a different life story. Things happen rapidly for someone, and things move slowly for others.

For me, it is important to pick up characters which I can relate to. Or I recall an incident in my life or tap into my innermost emotions and try to bring that reality on to the screen.

Plays are definitely the most difficult of them all. They are entirely a different category altogether. I don't have the courage to try out plays.

People make a star out of actors after one or two films and keep capitalising on the same thing without having the courage of exploring the world of cinema, which has so much to offer.

I am very bad at taking compliments. Even in school, when people told me that I look good, I could just manage an awkward thank you and a smile.

While you can be trained and groomed to be a better actor, seasoning happens only to TV actors. TV actors shoot every day, and that makes a difference to the project. They are hard-working, but that's not taking anything away from the film actors.

I want to see better quality of comedy on TV.

I didn't leave TV for films; I left it due to health issues. I wasn't keeping well, and I was losing weight due to the long working hours.
