I am completely in love with what I do.

Dance is my passion, and I feel so strongly about it that just watching people dance lights up my face and makes me come alive.

I love song-and-dance films.

I have been trolled for my name, my marriage, my religion, even for my mother.

Rangeela' was a very wonderful film, a great experience.

There's so much to do in life, and hopefully I will do it all.

I have always tried to make life interesting for myself by doing different roles that connect mainstream cinema with its offbeat counterpart.

Media generally likes to generalise things, as it makes their life easy.

My mother's brother is a very good singer. My grandfather took up classical singing lessons and learnt to play the harmonium.

My private life is always under scrutiny. Each and every action is analysed and re-analysed.

I'm often asked how I shoulder the responsibility of films, but I've always believed in taking risks.

Actions should speak louder than words.
