How do you react to rumours about you and Ram Gopal Varma?
(laughs) I enjoy them! Writing that Antara Mali is a good person is boring. That she's in a spicy situation is news.
When there's a relationship between two persons, only they know the truth. What others say doesn't matter. The media has to have something to talk about. As long as I'm not caught saying anything ugly, I don't care what they write. But I'd be lying if I said it doesn't affect me. But that lasts only for a while. I stay away from the media glare. I do what makes me happy. There's no time to bother about gossip.
It's difficult for me to focus on my career and friends. I want to focus my energy on work. I don't attend parties. I'm connected to my audience only through my work. I'm condemned for being hostile. But I respect my colleagues. I don't like to be glued to the phone or party all night. At the end of the day, I barely have energy to hold my plate of food.
After Naach, I may disappear for a year. Who knows?
