Moving on
There was a time when I used to write poems, but that phase got over. I act in films only so that I can support the plays I do. I can't live without writing and direction is something I started enjoying from the past three or four years.

Reliving the thrill
In art, the one things that you take back home, is the surprise element. I constantly want to surprise myself. It's like when I took a flight for the first time, it felt so amazing. But the next time that same thrill didn't happen. It's the same with art. You can't relive the surprise. So I can't keep doing the same thing over and over again in theatre. I wait to do plays that will excite me. u00a0
