  • While I was shooting for Kahaani …I got a call from the director of Coffee House – Gurbir Singh. He asked me whether I was ready to take up a role in his film. Not many people are aware that Gurbirji was the person who offered me my first role in television – for a show called Dastoor.

But he did not love you, and so he had faith in you. Maybe — why, maybe it's a kind of reverse.
    John Steinbeck
