Excerpts:

A lot of fans and critics liked your performance in the recently released ‘Meenakshi Sundareshwar’. How do you feel about the positive reactions?

I am extremely happy and grateful. Also, I was nominated for the best actor for ‘Pagglait’ at Filmfare OTT Awards 2021 which I lost to Konkona Sen Sharma. But it’s such an honour to be nominated alongside such great actors, and I just feel so grateful to be at the Filmfare OTT Awards.

You recently revealed that you would like to play the role of ‘Amrita Pritam’. Are you vouching for that opportunity?

No, but I would like it if you could vouch for me. I really appreciate the kind of research you have done. I think it will be an honour to play Amrita onscreen. I have not been offered any such role but, I am hoping to manifest it.

There have been reports about Shah Rukh Khan playing the lead in Sahir Ludhianvi‘s biopic. If that happens, do you feel it would be an exciting prospect for you?

What? I would just say that pray and help me manifest that, everyone!

What are your plans for the New Year?

I am planning to be with my family on New Years.
