But nobody knows what I was going through during this phase. I had enjoyed the commercial success and the critical acclaim, so at some level I didn’t think it mattered. I don’t want to sound immodest or arrogant but after going on stage four years in row to get Best Actor (Female) trophies, I had proved it to myself beyond a point. How do you navigate the lows after experiencing the highs? In that respect Hamari Adhuri Kahani is an important film for you as it follows three flops (Ganchakkar, Shaadi Ke Side Effects and Bobby Jasoos).

Your career was soaring at one point and now there’s a lull. As for my incomplete love stories, of course I’ve experienced it but I’m glad that it remained incomplete. Happily-ever-after in films can get boring but in real life, it’s a must. That feeling of ho bhi sakta hai yaa nahin keeps it alive. It’s the uncertainty that makes us love incomplete stories.


Anything incomplete is more real and raw.
