How have you grown as an actor from Bunty aur Babli to Jhoom Barabar Jhoom?
I think the main aspect is confidence. When I started with Bunty aur Babli there was a huge confidence problem because I wasn’t sure whether I would be able to manage that level. I tried very hard to maintain a very high pitch and the level of performance which is something Shaad really likes. Shaad is a believer that anybody can do that to carry off a character which is very high octane and to carry it off with ease is very tough. I thought Bunty was one such character that was very tough to do. After I completed Bunty aur Babli and saw the film, I had confidence in Shaad. In the sense that he always believed in me as an actor and I was happy that he managed to extract good performance from me. So when Jhoom Barabar Jhoom came along there wasn’t any apprehension towards the film or the character though it was ten notches above Bunty aur Babli in attitude, pitch. We were more bullish about this film and we said yes lets do it. We tried to be very confident and attack with it head on. S
