When I am practicing yoga, I try to avoid music. But if I really have to listen to something, I listen to the Om chant.
What matters to me as a creative artist is the credibility of the production house, the honesty in the script, and the way the filmmaker has conceived the characters in the narrative.
Never in my wildest dreams I thought I would work with Dharmendra sir. I remember the first selfie I took with him, I posted on our family WhatsApp group. My father couldn't stop beaming with joy. I could feel it. Everytime I see them proud, it makes everything so worth it.
It's not, like, how long you are on the screen, 'Karwaan' being the biggest the example. I may have had a five-minute role, but I know the appreciation that I got was a lot more than a five-minute role deserved probably.
If you're not vulnerable, and you're too headstrong and clear about the path you want to take, it won't help you grow. Vulnerability doesn't have to be a negative thing. If you take the right spin on it, it can be extremely positive.
I never expected 'Theen Maar' to have such a great opening. Pawan Kalyan is a huge star in Tollywood, but for me, it's just my second film.
Pawan Wadeya's 'Googly' gave me a new lease of life in Kannada cinema. I feel blessed that way. There's been no looking back since.
Initially, I was scared of living alone in a big city like Mumbai, which is nothing like Bangalore. I'm more comfortable now; it feels like a home away from home.
'Veerey Ki Wedding' is a comedy of errors in more ways than one. It's one of those basic, perky comedies. We're not trying to give out a message or anything.
While acting, you just go with the flow of what you are feeling, but dubbing requires recreating and reliving those emotions all over again. So it's very necessary to match up to the performance in front of the camera.
Direction is always on my wish list.
