What was your initial reaction when you first saw Ashi (Priya Wal), your co-star, who is taller than you? Were you comfortable with the idea of having a taller co-star? — Amrita Pandit

Dear Amrita,
Her height was never an issue. I was perfectly chilled out about the fact that she is taller than me.

Who is your favourite character in Remix?
—- Sanaa Shaikh

Dear Sanaa,
My favourite character in Remix is my roommate Nakku (Habib). He is such a cool dude.

I think Remix is a rocking show and you guys performed brilliantly at the recent Star Parivaar awards. Do you identify with your character Yuvi and are you as passionate about music in real life?
—- Lipika Mitra

Dear Lipika,
I don't identify with my character as I am not a rich, spoilt brat, nor am I the son of a politician. The only aspect of Yuvi's character I identify with is his passion for music. I was a VJ with Zee Music, and I am heavily into music. I not only listen but read a lot about music too.

What is the similarity between your life and the character of Yuvi that you play? Also, do we hope to see you in any other show?
—Karishma Kakar

Dear Karishma,
After playing Yuvi for all these months, a certain part of Yuvi has seeped into me and a certain bit of Raj has seeped into Yuvi. The love for music is the single biggest common factor. At the moment, it is only Remix for me as there is no time to take on another show as well as to maintain exclusivity.

If not an actor, what would you be?
— Shruti

Dear Shruti,
I would be definitely related to the entertainment world. If not an actor, I would have been maybe a director or something to do with showbiz.

Are you interested in doing films? I feel you are a complete gentleman and very handsome.
—- Manali

Dear Manali,
Thanks for the compliment. I would be definitely interested in films but I know I don't have the conventional looks of a Bollywood actor. I would be interested in doing character roles.

You Remix guys remind me of my good old college days. Is there a music album of Remix?
—- Steve

Dear Steve,
I am happy to know that Remix reminds you of your college days. There is a music album of Remix which will be available in stores soon.

Did you grown your hair long specially for Remix or did you always have long hair?
—- Shilpa

Dear Shilpa,
I have always had long hair; it is just that for the show it was styled in a more contemporary, retro look. My long hair influence comes form my idol musician Jim Morrison. Now I think my hairstyle is a cross between Alexander and Morrison!

In Remix, Anvesha (Priya Wal) says 'Duh'. What does it mean? I saw you in a music video. Have you stopped doing it?
—- Swapna

Dear Swapna,
'Duh' is Avesha's way of exclaiming what the hell do you mean? I had done the Aar Par music video earlier. Now, of course, I have to maintain the exclusivity for Remix.

Does the on-screen chemistry with Anvesha translate into real life?
— Prabhakar and Neha

Dear Prabhakar and Neha,
That's an interesting question. Both of us are professionals and enjoy playing our characters. In a lot of respects, our on-screen chemistry is because of the cool rapport we have off-screen.
