You are working only in Kya Hoga Nimmo Ka. Why?
For the moment I am concentrating only on Nimmo... Earlier I used to do several projects simultaneously, but now, I am content doing one project at a time. This way, I can also have time for myself.

But, Nimmo... is not getting good TRPs in the prime time slot. What is your take on it?
As far as I know, it has the highest TRPs after Nach Baliye 2. We are also trying to revamp our show in order to compete with Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki.

Are you tired of working in daily soaps?
I do get tired at times because of the hectic schedule. But, there are so many people who are dying to get into acting. That way, I consider myself lucky.

Being a Balaji prodigy, do you consider projects outside the camp too?
I don't think I will get an interesting role from any other production house, besides Balaji.

People consider Ekta a hard taskmaster. What is your equation with Ekta Kapoor?
Ekta has been in this industry for so many years now. She is good. You need to be tough, to be able to build such an empire. I really respect Ekta for her achievements. I never went to Ekta to asking for roles. If she thinks that I am fit for any role, she will consider me. I have full faith on her.

Is there any particular reason for shying away from the media?
I am not off-press. I prefer speaking to the media, only when there is something worth mentioning.

You were allegedly caught kissing Anita Hasnandani in public. Are you still seeing her now?
I will kiss anyone I want to. I don't want to share my personal details. I have been quite vocal in the past and had to bear the brunt of it.

When are you planning to get married?
If something happens, I will definitely talk to the media about it.
