If you weren’t an actor, you would have been…

I can’t think of anything else.



The best thing about working in TV.

The time I get to spend on the shooting floor.



And the worst.

The long working hours and telecast date problems.



Madhuri Dixit or Kirron Kher, who do you admire more?

I can’t decide. I love them both.



A Punjabi quirk you have.

Whenever I’m happy, I start singing Punjabi songs.

Deewar (1975).
