2. “What makes this role special for you?”
Bahot special hai kyun ki, it’s not a fictional character. Ek real aur legendary personality ko recreate karna tha. Mere bhi favourite politician aur poet the.

6. “Sir what’s ur take on PR? I mean many celebs are onto this culture of hiring PR teams to stay relevant in the media…is it right? I mean actors do have PR teams nd I guess aapke paas bhi hogi hi…lekin itna heavy involvement of PR and Papz…just for staying relevant on the internet…is a bit weird. Aap kya kehna chahoge ispe? Question skip mat karna sirji.”

8. “Is it still difficult for you to get diverse roles? Do you still get offers similar to your last one? Or the situation has improved enough that you can pick and choose what you like? Also, I know your hometown, very very different from Mumbai. Ab itne saal baad, have you found your place in Mumbai? Ya abhi v you feel out of place?”
Karmabhoomi hai ye. Jitna Bihari hoon, utna hi Mumbaikar hoon. I have multiple options now.

Playing the role of my opposite gender.
