I come from a family where we go way back in our roots in Bollywood, my nana ji was a very famous actor. I know my parents would be watching me, my sisters, my friends, my little nephew will be watching me. So I do have that responsibility and that pressure. When I come out of the show, I want to come out with respect and dignity. I do have a responsibility to not lose it, to not to go crazy, but definitely, you’ll be seeing me doing everything but in a respectful way.”
