'Actors
Don't
Belong
To
A
Particular
Medium
Anymore'
Q.
The
minute
you
hear
the
word
'internet
sensation',
your
name
immediately
pops
up
in
the
mind.
These
days,
we
have
a
lot
of
the
Bollywood
actors
turning
towards
the
web.
You,
on
the
other
hand,
are
having
a
vice-versa
journey
right
now.
How
do
you
see
this
transition?
A.
I
think
it's
a
very
interesting
time
to
be
a
part
of
the
entertainment
industry
because
internet
has
opened
up
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
everybody.
The
lines
are
pretty
blurred
now.
You
don't
belong
to
a
particular
medium
anymore.
Everybody
is
everywhere.
It's
very
interesting
to
see
that
everybody
is
very
open
to
exploring
new
mediums
and
genre
and
experimenting
with
them.
It's
also
great
that
the
audience
is
accepting
all
these
changes.
Q.
You
have
a
knack
for
some
really
good
content.
Be
it
the
webseries,
your
Marathi
film
Murabba
and
now
Karwaan.
How
do
you
pick
up
your
work?
Is
this
process
organic
for
you
or
you
plan
things?
A.
It's
organic.
I
don't
have
a
plan
at
all.
I
think
I
have
been
fortunate
that
I
have
been
offered
good,
quality
content.
I
always
say
that
when
I
pick
my
work,
it
depends
on
the
content
and
the
people
associated
with
the
project,
whether
it's
the
theatre,
internet
or
it's
films
now.
I
am
fortunate
that
all
of
that
has
come
together
for
me
for
everything
that
I
have
done
so
far.
'My
Grandfather
Was
Very
Skeptical
About
Me
Making
This
Career
Choice'
Q.
A
couple
of
days
back,
you
shared
a
post
on
your
Instagram
page from
Official
Humans
of
Bombay
where
you
spoke
about
the
silent
relationship
which
you
had
with
your
grandfather
as
he
wasn't
really
keen
about
you
pursuing
a
career
in
this
film.
Did
he
see
the
trailer
of
Karwaan?
What
was
his
reaction
to
it?
A.
Yes,
he
did
watch
it.
He
is
very
excited.about
the
film.
Q.
How
is
your
relationship
with
him
now?
A.
When
I
say
'silent',
it
means
we
ain't
very
verbal
about
it.
We
don't
say
'I
love
you
to
each
other.' But
we
know
that.
He
was
the
one
who
was
very
skeptical
about
me
making
this
career
choice
and
today,
he's
the
one
who
shows
out
the
most.
It's
really
sweet
that
he
has
learnt
how
to
access
YouTube
and
how
to
use
his
smartphone
and
tablet.
He
has
a
tablet
but
I
don't.
Q.
Did
you
always
wanted
to
be
an
actress
or
did
you
have
some
other
career
plans?
A.
I
always
wanted
to
be
an
actress.
I
went
on
the
stage
for
the
first
time
in
school
when
I
was
12.
That's
when
I
decided
that
this
is
what
I
wanted
to
do.
Nobody
takes
a
12
year
old's
career
choice
seriously.
Nobody
took
me
seriously
including
me.
I
ran
away
from
it
but
it
found
me.
I
guess
this
was
meant
to
be.
'I
Don't
Like
To
Have
Regrets
In
Life'
Q.
When
you
look
back,
are
you
happy
with
how
things
have
shaped
up
for
you?
A.
Definitely.
I
am
very
happy.
I
don't
like
to
have
regrets
in
life.
Q.
You
met
Dulquer
Salmaan
for
the
first
time
on
the
sets
of
Karwaan.
Was
it
difficult
for
you
to
break
the
ice
with
him?
A.
It
wasn't
difficult.
DQ
and
I
met
for
a
couple
of
readings
before
we
started
shooting
for
the
film.
That's
helped
because
we
got
to
be
friends
first
in
that
sense.
He's
quite
grounded
and
very
approachable.
There
was
no
distance.
It
was
the
same
with
Irrfan
Sir
as
well.
I
was
in
complete
awe
of
him.
I
have
grown
up
watching
him
and
have
been
a
fan.
I
was
a
little
intimidated
by
him,
not
because
he
was
intimidating
but
it
came
from
respect.
Q.
Were
you
aware
about
Dulquer's
work
down
the
South?
A.
If
I
have
to
be
honest,
I
looked
him
up.
When
I
found
out
about
him,
I
knew
he
was
a
big
deal.
I
didn't
see
his
work before
I
met
him.In
a
way,
it's
a
boon.
Now,
I
am
a
fan
of
DQ.
Had
I
been
a
fan
of
both
of
them, I
would
have
been
really
worried
because
I
would
have
become
conscious.
I
am
glad
that
I
got
to
be
DQ's
friend
first
and
then
a
fan.
'It
Took
Me
A
While
To
Get
Used
To
The
Fact
That
I
Am
Irrfan
Khan's
Co-Star'
Q.
How
was
it
sharing
screen
space
with
Irrfan
Khan?
A.
It
was
amazing.
I
cannot
describe
it
in
words.
Everything
which
he
does
is
inspiring.
It
took
me
a
while
to
get
used
to
the
fact
that
I
am
his
co-actor.
I
had
to
get
that
reality
check
that
I
am
working
with
him
as
an
actor
and
not
as
an
audience.
Q.
How
was
a
day
on
the
sets of Karwaan?
What
is
the
biggest
take-away
for
you
from
the
film?
A. I
think
I
was
a
child
sent
to
Disneyland.
I
was
like
this
wide-eyed
child
trying
to
take
in
everything.
It
was
an
absolutely
enriching
experience.
Every
day
was
a
learning.
Who
doesn't
want
to
work
with
two
of
the
finest
artists
we
have
in
the
country
today!
They
are
so
effortless
and
spontaneous.
Q.
How
much
did
you
relate
with
your
character
Tanya
from
Karwaan?
A.
Mithila
and
Tanya
are
not
relatable
at
all
(laughs).
Tanya
is
extremely
practical
about
her
approach
towards
her
life.
On
the
other,
I
am
extremely
emotional
towards
it.
It's
something
which
I
need
to
learn
from
Tanya
(laughs).
I
am
an
extreme
overthinker
whereas
she's
extremely
unapologetic.
Q.
Were
there
times
where
you
carried
the
remnants
of
your
reel
life
to
your
real
life?
A.
No,
I
didn't.
I
can
manage
to
disconnect
very
fast
from
my
characters.
Q.
Do
you
have
any
inhibitions
as
an
actress?
A.
Nothing
that
I
can
think
of.
I
mean
I
don't
know
about
nudity.
I
haven't
given
a
thought
to
that
yet.
Also,
I
don't
know
if
I
can
do
horror
as
a
genre
because
I
get
scared
easily.
But
then
if you
have
inhibitions,
how
will
you
survive?
'I
Am
A
Fan
Of
Alia
Bhatt's
Work'
Q.
What
kind
of
films
were
a
part
of
your
growing
years?
A.
I
am
a
90s
kid.
So,
everything
from
that
period
was
a
part
of
my
childhood.
But.
I
have
also
a
huge
fan
of
Gulzar
Saab.
I
have
watched
a
lot
of
his
films.
His
film
Ijaazat
has
been
remarkable
for
me.
I
think
that
film
is
a
poetry.
If
there
is
one
film
which
I
can
watch
again
and
again,
it's
Hum
Aapke
Hain
Koun.
Q.
Do
you
look
upto
any
actresses
from
the
current
crop?
A.
I
look
upto
Priyanka
Chopra.
Everything
she
does
is
very
inspiring
because
she's
unstoppable.
I
am
a
fan
of
Alia
Bhatt's
work.
Also
Ranbir
Kapoor.
I
have
been
his
fan
since
forever
now.
