How
would
you
describe
your
journey
from
Nayee
Padosan
to
Chingaari
?
The
journey
has
been
very
heartening.
Bollywood
has
been
very
giving
in
terms
of
the
kind
of
work
offered
and
encouragement
received.
A
newcomer
like
me
often
finds
it
difficult
to
get
a
foothold
in
this
industry,
but
Bollywood,
the
people
around
me...
all
have
pleasantly
surprised
me!
I
pray
this
upward
spiral
continues
and
I
keep
the
trust
and
faith
bestowed
upon
me
by
one
and
all.
How
different,
or
rather
simply,
how
was
it
working
for
a
lady
director?
Kalpanaji
is
a
creative
genius.
Her
detailing
of
the
character
graph
and
situation,
coupled
with
the
flexibility
offered
to
me
to
work
within
the
given
constraints
served
as
an
ideal
workspace
to
explore
and
grow
for
a
newcomer
like
me.
I
don't
understand
how
the
gender
would
make
any
difference
whatsoever.
I
am
not
only
lucky,
but
also
privileged
to
work
with
a
director
of
the
stature
of
Kalpana
Lajmi
at
the
threshold
of
my
career.
What
was
the
whole
controversy,
involving
you
and
Sushmita
Sen,
all
about?
The
controversy
arose
due
to
the
misinterpretation
of
something
I
had
said
in
order
to
create
a
saleable
'scoop'
story.
I
was
taken
aback
and
shocked
when
the
comments
I
had
given
were
twisted
to
such
an
extent,
with
the
extra
masala
added,
just
to
catch
some
attention.
Such
tactics
are
very
selfish
and
the
media
should
understand
the
sentiments
of
the
people
involved.
I
was
very
hurt
when
I
first
heard
about
the
story.
It
hurt
everybody
involved.
But
it's
been
done
and
over
with.
Sushmita
has
been
a
great
co-star
and
friend
to
work
with.
God
bless
her
always.
What
genre
would
Chingaari
as
a
film
fit
into
-
Commercial,
masala
pot-boiler
or
an
offbeat
film?
A
commercial
film
is
a
film
which
is
commercially
viable
with
a
scope
to
rake
in
the
moolah
at
the
box
office.
Chingaari
is
a
brilliant
film
with
the
potential
to
become
a
huge
success
due
to
its
awe
inspiring
plot,
performances
and
direction.
Everyone
involved
with
this
project
has
given
more
than
their
100%
and
I
strongly
believe
that
sincere
efforts
definitely
pay
off.
Where
do
you
see
yourself
10
years
down
the
line?
Right
at
the
top!
Period.
Ok, till now we have heard from Anuuj, the actor, now let's grill Anuuj, the person.
5
things
that
you
look
for
in
a
girl
The
wit,
smile,
eyes,
smell
and
walk.
4
romantic
things
you
have
done
- Walked 8 kms in the middle of the night to catch a glimpse of her, just to find out she's out of town.
- Bought a ring I couldn't afford to lose it before gifting it to her.
- Sang 'Making love out of nothing at all' in front of the entire college, just to forget the words after singing the very first line.
- Organised a school trip to be with her for a week, just to realise she's missed the train!
I hope to become a great husband, father and son someday.
2 most expensive gifts you have ever bought
- A ring for her I lost before meeting her
- A sports car I crashed the very next day!
Myself, but a wee bit taller (laughs).
