A lot of people know that how I came to become an actor, but not many people know that how hard it was for me in those initial years. Being an outsider, I had no insight about the ways of the craft.

I have no memory of 'Bigg Boss.'

If people find me suitable for a role, which equally interests me, then I will think about it. Having said that, there is a perception that TV actors can't act in movies. I would like to break this myth if and when I decide to do films.

I don't mind doing glamorous roles, comic roles, weekly shows, or something different from what I've done earlier.

Now, like a lot of parents, I have to fight with myself every time I leave the house not to buy my children more stuff.

I'm trying to break any chain of negative parenting that I might have survived.

I'm kind of a reluctant Anglophile. My mother's a children's librarian, and all of the children's literature I read was from her childhood - E. Nesbit and Dickens, which isn't children's literature at all, but I was sort of steeped in English literature. I thought I was of that world.

Both my parents had heart problems: my mother had type 2 diabetes, and my father had a stroke.
