launch and the response to it was fabulous now i want to do one film a year down south if i can because the scripts there are quite interesting times are changing and its the content that decides everything language and platform are hardly a barrier anymore i realised that sitting at home is not going to help me the competition increases every day we have fivesix new faces in bollywood every year and many of them are star kids when you dont come from this industry it takes you time to create a market for yourself you can either get irritated with the competition sit at home and wait for something to work out or you can go out there and find a way through it i took up machine and my first telugu film because of that finally things are shaping up the way i want them tolooking back was it difficult to handle rejection during the initial struggling phaseit is tough to take that no on your chin but you can survive it if you believe in yourself if you dont believe that you can make the cut then who will when you question your abilities you also open the door for others to do that during the toughest times if i had questioned my ability to act i wouldnt have gone beyond one project i am glad i didnt give up constructive criticism is always welcome but you should know who to take it from you have to evolve as an artiste today for me every day is workinprogress im no longer waiting for a destination im just relishing the journeywith several new faces including industry kids entering the business what do you think works to your advantagei was very excited to see what janhvi kapoor does in her first film because i am a huge sridevi fan in my heart i know that were all vying for the same roles because there are only that many exciting movies being made i made my debut a while ago but i still have that freshgirllook which works to my advantage also ive not been stereotyped or bracketed its inspiring to see peers doing great work because it helps cinema evolve and in turn every actor benefits from it with a busy date diary do you think you have the time to be in a relationship given that youre a sucker for romancei dont know look im single right now i just want to be with someone who can love me for who i am and vice versa the relationship has to have a deep emotional connect for both of us you cant be in love with calculations attached to it ive seen many people who have settled with their highschool sweethearts theyre lucky because their relationships lasted mine didnt smiles i wish i had that highschool sweetheart too honestly i want to see myself settled with someone who i am headoverheels in love with the search is
