Love ke liye
I enjoy writing poetry. I only write in English though, and sometimes I do have people frowning at me when I tell them that but guys, I just can't write in Hindi. Most of my poems revolve around the theme of love. I guess we've all had that special someone at some point who has impacted our lives in a big way.

Words worth
I also love writing on important issues that concern us as a society. For instance, I recently wrote a piece on politicians trying to buy celebrities to campaign for them. This is one issue that has been troubling me lately.

During the last couple of weeks, I was inundated with offers to campaign for politicians who were willing to give me huge sums of money for the job. I had to politely decline because I feel that leaders aren't products that we can endorse. And after the 26/11 attacks we've all had reason to doubt their credibility. Considering how impressionable some of our fans are, it wouldn't be right to sell our opinions for a price.

Blog talk
Like many others in the Bollywood industry, I also enjoy blogging. That is my way of connecting with my audience and fans. Lately however, I haven't had the time to blog, but hopefully I'll be on track soon.
