English productions are very organised and systematic. Time is used very well. Everyone is punctual.

Indian productions are getting that way nowadays too. I am really excited to have an international film so early in my career. Gurinder is happy with my work. I am happy with what I have done. Let us see who else is happy with it!

I always prepare for my roles. I read the dialogues way in advance. Then I analyse my character and write it down. I highlight all my scenes and dialogues in the script. Then I break it down to see how many scenes I have in the film. I take each scene and understand it well. So when I go on the sets, I know my scenes and dialogues really well.

This preparation is nothing compared to what some other actors in Bride And Prejudice did!

I believe I should really look like my character. I should not be like Peeya because that’s what I am in real life. In films, I get to play someone else. I get to be that many more people.

[Theatre personality] Alyque Padamsee once told me that the best part about an actor’s life is that he gets to be so many more people in his life, unlike others.
