My mother is very fond of cooking and whenever I am home she ensures that I eat the best food prepared by her, because of which I gain a lot of weight.

I had zero connection to Bollywood or movies when I started out. I worked in theatre for eight years where luckily Makarand Deshpande mentored me, helped me to improve my body language and voice modulation.

More than anything else it pleases me to know I've made people back home in Bihar proud of me.

I'm very much a family person.

Mythologicals and historicals have always found takers in India. The audience identifies with them and they make for good family viewing.

I believe films are the mirror of society we live in.
