“I've never wanted to play the lead role; I make the most of whatever opportunities come my way.”

“I've done over 100 auditions, but I was lucky to stumble onto the Internet as it was growing. Because in film, people are not looking at casting completely unknown faces as lead roles.”

“Marathi is my mother tongue; there's a certain comfort level speaking in it.”
