I didn't want to use my father's name. I don't think I will ever want to use his influence... Never have I gone around asking people, 'Do you know who I am...' Even if it's to cut a line at the airport.

People think that I have some idea about how I choose my films. I make sure that I am doing the kind of films that I want to watch. You hear so many stories, and one of them will stand out and connect to you somewhere.

It is when I am convinced about my character that I can do justice to that role.

I don't want to get into a comfort zone. I am getting characters of varying shades, which I believe will help me grow as an actor.

I can make chicken curry, rice, kheema... I am a foodie and enjoy varied cuisines. My favourites are Korean and Japanese.

You know, I think I am faintly spiritual.
