Excerpts…

Doing great as a successful dancer and choreographer, when and how the acting bug started biting?

Acting was always my passion…While we dance there’s quite a bit of acting that we do already…As we have to smile even if you have had the worst days at home…So that was a major part of my learning…

Do you want to be an actor or a dancer?

An Entertainer… I want people to know me as an entertainer even if I have to direct films…

Lucky to work with seasoned seniors like Seema Biswas, Konkana Sen Sharma and now with Anupam Kher, what do you learn from them?

Everyone has their own special skills…Seema Ji believes in a lot of homework, research, and patience, Where as Anupam Ji is one of the most disciplined actors…I’ve not worked too much with Konkana, but I have seen her work…she is fabulous…

From doing sensible films to acting in a commercial masala what is the difference?

You have to do all sorts of films as an actor to gain experience…Nakshatra is a commercial masala film, which has made me do a lot of action stunts which on the other hand has made me a very brave person…

Both are on cloud 9 at the moment… I think both are brilliant…
