Jaldi five with Pulkit Samrat, Television actor
Ektaa Kapoor has filed a complaint against you. Are you aware of this?
No (laughs)! I don't have any idea. My lawyer would be in a better position to answer. All I can say is that she (Ektaa) makes me laugh with her antics. That improves my health, so I am happy about that.
Was it difficult to take a stand against a powerful personality?
The most difficult thing I did was to leave my home in Delhi and come here to work. If I can't work after coming here, what's the sense? I will not allow that to happen. I have the support of my family and friends. This was a battle I had to fight.
Has this affected your career?
Not really! On the other hand, the entire industry has supported me. I have been getting offers. In fact, because of this case, everyone knows that I am available. Earlier, there used to be so much confusion with the exclusive contract and
all that.
Where do you see yourself going from here?
Well, I am exploring all options. I want to make sure that the reason I have taken up this fight — which was to be able to do good work—is fulfilled. I don't want to stick to just television.
So does that mean you are quitting TV?
Of course not! All it means is that I am open to other media. Right now, I am on a self-imposed break. I want to take things slowly. Let's see where I go from here. Life is very unpredictable, you know.
