I never have such luxury of leisure time. But whenever I get some time, I catch up on watching movies, keep going to theatre to watch plays, gigs of my actor friends.

Doing 'YHA' felt as if I was shooting for a film because it was a love story with a definite ending and good script.
I believe now the industry has seen a different side of me. They have seen me in advertisements, they have seen me act, and now they have seen me as an all-rounder, complete with my dancing ability.
Even when I interact or meet my fans during events, I let them know of my actual Twitter handle so that they are not taken advantage of by anybody online pretending to be me.
I am on the lookout for smart scripts and stories where my role has weightage.
The only pressure you put on yourself is the one you want to. No one else can pressurise you.
I believe that a web series allows actors the freedom to express their views.
I've been always clear that I wouldn't do TV soaps just for the sake of doing them. I would rather wait and work on projects which enable me to make an impact.
As an actor, you should always keep your trump card hidden from your audience. I want the audience to keep expecting more and more from me. I want to do 'different' work - good and memorable roles - so that audience appreciate me more. That's why I love to surprise my audience with something they never expect me to do.
I'd rather say that had the going not been tough, perhaps it wouldn't have been as enjoyable.
'Yeh Hai Aashiqui - Siyappa Ishq Ka' has become a part of who I am. I will be narrating the stories, and as a narrator, I get to experience each story up close and personal and go through the same range of emotions as the characters.
It's important for fans to follow only verified accounts of actors. For instance, I am not on Facebook, but I know that many people are running accounts on my name, claiming to be me. Young girls end up liking such dubious pages and get swayed by the activities that happen there.
I feel these shows allow you to be yourself, this is why I like to be part of them. Also, reality shows have a much bigger reach and provide a bigger platform for an actor.
As an actor, I feel there isn't much to explore on TV. So, if I get better work as a host, why wouldn't I do it?
'Bigg Boss' is one show that I can never be a part of. I am very restless as a person, so keeping me locked won't be a good idea.
Love is not just about love for your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, or wife. Love, for me, is the love for my work, family, and even friends. The emotion is very strong. It comes with a lot of responsibilities.
I love to drown myself in work. I pray to God to keep me busy and let me do good work.
I have proved myself as a complete package, so people can be more confident about investing in me, and I do expect a little more trust from the industry members.
I adopted a pet because I have been wanting one for the longest time. In fact, I am really close to Ravi Dubey's dog Moyo.
I would not want to be a part sass-bahu sagas. These are not realistic, and it gets tough for me to relate to my role.
I am all for TV, but I want to be part of shows that stand out.
I think I have balanced hosting and acting pretty well.
One of the major things in any dance-based reality show is how smartly you can impress the audience and keep your cool throughout the show.
Love is everything for me. It's the way of life. It's the way of expressing and way of breathing for me.
