You mean holiday?
Yes. Once in while you need to take a break, assess your work. When I entered the industry, I was in a hurry to do everything. But I'm more mature now.

So you're not happy with what you've been doing?
When you are young you have the licence to do many things that you can't do later. I've grown up now. There's no right or wrong way for me.

If you're a rebel.. is your sister Ahana one too?
No, she does all the right things at the right time. These days, she is busy writing scripts.

Your dad, Dharmendra, made a comeback this year.
Yeah, and what a comeback it was. Touch wood.

Any plans of doing a film.. with your mom and dad?
I want to do a film with mom.. one with dad.. and one with both. (Laughs) That's three films.

Recently, Hemaji was heard talking about your marriage.
Marriage? No way! I will become India's first runaway bride. Only, instead of a horse, I will flee on a bike to some isolated place.

What's keeping you busy these days?
I was in Puri recently for a recital. Dancing is a spiritual experience, it's like offering prayers. I'm learning something new in Odissi. My endorsements also keep me busy. I've just launch the new Samsung phone - The Metal5.
