“Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.”

“Paying more heed to the lessons of the past might teach us to be a little more cautious about some of the political decisions taken today.”

“Smartphone usage is on the rise and mobile data is getting cheaper. People are watching a lot of content on their smartphones. So, digital has a bright future in India.”

“As an actor you want people to know you and there are times you want your pictures taken, but it's unnerving to walk out of a venue with friends and there are 20 people flashing lights in your face. Do you know how bright those lights are?”

“I never felt bright enough. I never felt confident. I felt that kid coming out of the council estate, like I was never good enough.”
