After doing Quantico, has your perspective towards Hindi films changed?
Please man! I’ll keep doing potboilers. Ussike liye toh jeeti hoon main. If I don’t do a song in six months, mujhe kuch hone lagta hai. I need to do songs. Art in any form is art. Hindi cinema is not a stepping stone for me. It’s my career. I’ll do other things but I’ll keep coming back to it.
I’ve never taken a break from India. Why should I? I’ve been working on international projects for three years now. I go where my work takes me - never mind if it’s Yugoslavia. Duniya ab chhoti ho gayi hai. The web has made it small.
