“My general idea about my work is that it's more about the work than the things that come with it. I am constantly striving to improve on that and find new things to do there. That journey itself is so interesting is because there's so much to do that there's no room for doubt there.”

“You can't understand a character intellectually, you have to become one with its emotional core.”

“But honestly, much of the work that I have done has had some impact on me. It's something that I have realised only later.

“But, as an actor, the role that I enjoyed, in terms of really understanding and appreciating this profession, was Anoop Singh's 'Qissa'.”

“It is exciting to see the different genres that audiences want to watch. The response to a show like 'Mirzapur' last year and to Delhi Crime earlier this year was so encouraging and a proof that good content is the new formula.”

“The way you get to explore a city when you are on shoot is so different from when you are there as a tourist.”
