If you could choose any movie as your dream debut, which one would it be?

There couldn’t have been a better debut for me than Junoon (1978) as it gave me the opportunity to work alongside all the stalwarts of the industry.

One thing not many people know about you...?

I’m basically a quiet and a peaceful person. But if I see anything wrong happening around me, I try to address it.

Barack Obama, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Lady Diana and Indira Gandhi.

I’d love to go to a movie premiere, if invited.
