“Cook with Comali' was a rebirth of sorts for me. I never wanted to be on television because I wanted to be an actor. I didn't have contacts nor did I come from an affluent family. I have faced a lot of insults, rejections and have been pushed to the bottom but I didn't give up.”

“Both my mom and sister are great cooks; some of the best food I have had were made by them.”

“I always work towards being a good human.”

“I was always been encouraged to get into the field of acting when I was in college and I even attended an audition once. But my parents weren't supportive of that decision back then.”

“What you saw on TV is who I am in real life.”

“People have ignored me in the past, thinking that I probably had an attitude. And I couldn't break that perception.”

“When people around me were signing films, I would wonder why nothing good came my way. See, I wasn't desperate to do films, but I was desperate to do good films.”

“As a human, you tend to lose your calm at some point. But I ensured I was being myself through the journey. I feel people liked my honesty and casualness.”
