Would you ever date a fan?
I have never given this a thought. I am not very sure about this.
How would someone get your special attention?
The only way to gain my attention is that the person has to be kind-hearted. I don’t give much importance to good looks.
Your top 3 all-time favourite movies?
Jab We Met, Queen and Dangal.
Do you sing in the shower?
Being a singer, it is very common for me to sing in the shower. Not only in shower, I sing everywhere (LOL).
What is your biggest fear?
Right now, I do not have any fear. But when I entered the acting industry, I used to fear the camera. I used to fear learning the script. So, this was my initial fear when I entered the industry. This was also because I come from a non-entertainment background.
What would you like your superpower to be?
OMG. The list is long (Laughs). I wish for a time machine. I wish to have the power to get everything I wanted just with a snap of my fingertip just like in the serial ‘Shararat’. I also want a magic pencil like that of ‘Shaka Laka boom boom’.
One thing which you always want people to remember about you?
I would like to write an autobiography of myself someday. That would be the best way to reach out to my audience and let them know my story. I dream of doing that someday.
Lastly, a message for the fans?
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fans for always being there for me always. They supported me when I was a singer and also when I got into acting. They have loved me in both roles. They understood this transition from being a singer to actor.
