Subconsciously, there was always an actor inside me. But while growing up, it was a very normal childhood because my dad never got films to the dining table and never discussed films.

When I was growing up, my father never got his profession to the house. We didn't discuss films on the dining table.

A hero could be anyone who does something heroic, irrespective of the gender.

Whatever understanding I have of filmmaking is because of my stint as an assistant director on 'Gangs of Wasseypur.'

I've got a family now, which matures you.

There's always an excitement around the Strip whenever something new being built. It was always the biggest and the best hotel or, you know, over-the-top things. And so, family would be coming in from out of town, and it was such a thrill to be showing them this, you know, erupting new volcano or whatever it was.

I don't just come from a musical family, but from a musical community.

We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.
