Life is about learning and I have learnt so much from them. My mother herself was a teacher in same school and her one advice is etched in my head. She said âIf you stay healthy, fit, clean and wear good clothes half the battle is won as you will never lack confidence.' Confidence is a very powerful personality attribute.
Your favourite and least favourite subject in school?
My favourite subject was science and least favourite was social studies.
If you were not an actor, would you have become a teacher?
Maybe not. I don't have that temperament and patience.
How were you as a student in school?
I used to switch from frontbencher to backbencher depending on my company especially the benchmate.

Have you ever been punished by your teachers?
I had my fair share of punishments and trust me it's very imp to be punished, it's a part of learning.
Any punishment that you recall?
I was punished for eating raw noodles in class when the lecture was going on. I was made to stand outside the class for the next 3-4 lectures.
