Very bad roles were coming my way, and I didn't want to do them. Hence, I was doing small films like 'Delhi Belly,' where, though the footage wasn't long, the role was good.

Travelling by myself is always more of an adventure: I meet more people. I experience the place to the fullest. I'm on my own schedule.
