Excerpts from a chat:
Viewers have seen you donning many avatars on small screen. Does multitasking fascinate you? As an actor, I compete with myself when I take up my next role. My life has always revolved around multitasking. I am young so I can compromise on sleep. I am 25, so I can afford to multitask and stretch my physical level.

No matter how many computer graphics are suffused in a scene, what amazes me in a show is how emotions are given importance to. In Fanaa, the love story moves me more than the computer graphics. You are playing werewolf for the second time in a TV show. It's a challenge - as an actor I believe in taking myself to another level in my subsequent role that I take up. It's like once you've created a path for yourself and you are to take a diversion. That's not an easy job in hand. At the end of the day, people fall in love with each other and that's what the audience likes to watch. A brand new series with a fresh appeal is liked by audience. I feel mini series is the order of the say.
Is doing supernatural thriller physically demanding? It's not physically demanding per se, but, I must confess, I'm nervous because playing a werewolf requires me to be much more complex and dynamic. However, I spend two hours for make up before taking the shot.
Are you contemplating marriage at this stage? Asha (Negi) and I will get married. But that will take about two years. Till then I'd like to focus on work. I make sure on a daily basis I have some special moments with Asha.
