Film Fare

stressed with work? I feel
stressed when my parents
visit me. I have to manage
work and also spend time
with them.
WOULD YOU DATE AN ACTOR?
No! Most probably not. I’m
good friends with actors.
I love them. I can relate
to them. I empathise with
them. But I’d not be able to
date an actor.
WE HAVEN’T HEARD ANYTHING
ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE. OR
ARE YOU GOOD AT KEEPING
SECRETS?
(Laughs) It’s because it’s
non-existent. I find it funny
when people find it hard to
believe it. If you’re working
till 11 pm every night,
where’s the time for a love
life? You don’t really go out
much. You don’t meet so
many people. You socialise
but that’s work-oriented.
Work has been my priority.
Genuinely, I don’t want
distraction. Once in a
while my parents visit me
and that makes me feel
fine. Otherwise, my work
gives me satisfaction. I
don’t believe a relationship
can give me that much of
satisfaction.
AN OUTSIDER
DOESN’T GET
HONEST GUIDANCE.
THEY HAVE TO
FIND OUT THINGS
ON THEIR OWN,
MAKE MISTAKES,
MESS UP... BUT
IF YOU’RE GOOD,
YOU’RE GOOD.
IF YOU’RE NOT,
YOU’RE NOT.
THAT’S ALL THAT
MATTERS TO THE
AUDIENCE

BUT YOU COULD BALANCE THE
PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL.
I don’t know if that exists.
At the pace that l’m go
ing and the kind of space
I need, I don’t believe
I’ll be able to handle a
relationship. Unless there
comes a time when I want
to slow down. Why would
I want to have someone
around me when I’m
ANY REASONS FOR THAT?
There’s just too much
going on in an actor’s life.
It’s preoccupying and
you have to be someone
who can take a lot. I don’t
want that stress in my life.
Actors need supportive
people around them. As
for me, I’m independent
and do my own thing. So,
I need someone who can
complement that.
SO, WHAT KIND OF A GUY WOULD
YOU LIKE?
I don’t know why you
need someone to complete
yourself. People ask things
like when are you getting
married? Why aren’t you
dating someone? But I ask,
why has marriage become
such a necessity? It’s so
unfair; you’re your own
person. Why is it always
about a man? A man must
come into your life; you
should be dating someone,
you need to be married…!
Honestly, if it happens it
happens. If it doesn’t, it
doesn’t. People shouldn’t
make an issue out of it.
I don’t see how it would
make a difference to my
life. I believe there’s too
much pressure on girls.
They feel terrible about it
when they shouldn’t.
LASTLY, WHAT’S YOUR USP?
(Chuckles) I’m different.
I’m an anomaly.
