- Guru Randhawa, apart from being a known and successful artist, he is a very kind and supportive human being to work with.
- Poonam Dhillon ji I have a huge respect for her. She is such a successful senior artist and it was an amazing and fun experience to work with her. It didn't feel like I was working with her for the first time, I bonded with her quite well and we had lots of fun on the set. She has so much experience, when it comes to camera framing, angles, marking etc. I was just so amazed how she used to lead some of us on the set with so much awareness.
Q. What has the entertainment industry taught you both personally and professionally?
To protect the arts you have believed in as an artist. The very same arts which has shaped me, and in fact, any other actor and artists from different departments of the film/entertainment industry, needs to be given bigger wings and freedom to fly, to express, more than ever before.

Q. Do you have other aspirations beyond acting, such as venturing into direction or other creative roles?
- No, I would not want to do anything else apart from acting, it's a part of my whole being. But if at all I would consider something else than acting it would be dance for sure.
