In my opinion- there are no stars on television. TV actors who think they are stars are the biggest fools. TV actors are in your drawing room daily and you feel they are a part of your family. There's no distance, and hence no glamour. The only stars are on the big screen.

What I hate about the entertainment industry - bitching and politics. I blame media and journalists to some extent, for many of them spice up the "lies" instead of spicing up "the realities".

My most embarrassing moment - I was supposed to be doing the role of a journalist in Ram Gopal Varma's film Company, for which I had met him once.... The idea of the journalist's character was dropped soon after. Much later, I bumped into Mr. Varma at a party venue outside an elevator and I said "Hi!" very loudly to him in front of 50 people. Mr. Varma was not only astonished but also asked "Do I know you?"

An honest confession - the Kittie Party unit is the first unit where I have experienced that all actors can gel mentally.

My Experience with Balaji Telefilms - It was ok. But the work atmosphere there is stifling.

I am - an extrovert

My Favourite actors - Kajol, Julia Roberts

I detest - people who interfere in other people's life

Books I recommend - "English Patient" by Michael Ondaatje and "Beloved" by Tom Morrison

People who matter the most to me - my son Preetanjal, my mom and Mohan Kapur

I believe in- luck, astrology, destiny and God
