| About
him |
Trishala his daughter
says "I have a very strong relationship with
him. Most people think he and I aren’t very close
but they’re wrong. Just because I don’t see him
everyday doesn’t mean me and him aren’t close."
|
| Past
time |
'I use work as a
therapy. I go to the gym. I go out with friends,
or just sit with my family - an occasional dinner.'
|
| Doing
romantic scenes |
I’ve adjusted to
doing romantic scene, which I was uncomfortable
doing before. I’ve also tackled the situation
of dancing on stage. I believe that I do better
now. I’m more eased and open in acting terms.
I’ve earned words of appreciation for the change.
I’m doing good works and also good banner films
are coming to me.” |
