• Was becoming a part of the industry, particularly Punjabi cinema, your childhood passion?

I always wanted to be an actor but I never in particular thought about being a part of Punjabi film industry. I was destined to be here.

It is actually very hard to keep in touch with the fans all the time but I think fans should also understand that if I do not reply to everyone instantly on social media it doesn’t mean I do not value or love them. We all are where we are because of fans. I adore my fans!
