Buguri' is a romantic film, and I play Ganesh's love interest. Initially, I had just hoped to do one Kannada film since I'm a Kannadiga. Now, I'm even learning to converse in Kannada.

I feel adventure associations in our country can be the best but somehow are lazy about getting their act together.

I am very excited, as 'Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi' is my first show on television, and I am thrilled about this new adventure in my career. It is an honour to be associated with such a fantastic team.

I've visited Mangalore as a kid because we had relatives there. But I was born and brought up in Mumbai. So I don't know much about the place or the people.

When I heard about how big a star Puneeth Rajkumar is, I was anxious about working with him. It was only after we began shooting that I realized how chilled-out and down-to-earth he actually is. We worked hard on the set but also had fun doing so.

Being in the public eye puts you in a fix, and people are always wanting to know what you are up to.

Its really important to have cooperative co-actors when you're working and specially when you are doing a daily soap.

Doing a film and doing a TV show are poles apart. They are two different things, cannot be compared, but I enjoy doing both, as I love what I do.

I guess stars do not want to share anything about their personal life because then there is a question of where is the relationship going and so on and so forth.

My sky diving experience was spectacular, to say the least. The number of safety measures and repeated cross checks make it safer. The team did not let us jump alone, as individuals are not expected to have the expertise to do so safely on their own.

As a child, I have always wanted to have my fingers in many pies, and working on television was always on my checklist.

One cannot take natural resources for granted just to entertain viewers.
