There have been recent reports on Vedang Raina and Khushi Kapoor’s break-up. The actor got talking about life, relationships and career in an interview with us.
Recent months have been tough on you. What have they taught you about life and relationships?
I’m really just focussed like never before. I truly feel that. I think I’ve found a new drive and passion in what I’m doing and I’m committed to that. I’m treating everything that I’m working on like it’s my last chance. I think that keeps me going through everything that’s happening in my life. It’s made me comfortable with not being seen, not attending a lot of events, not being that active on social media. I’ve learned patience and what really matters in life.
Do you feel like an outsider in Bollywood? What with the star kids getting a major portions of the cake while talented newcomers like you get the crumbs?
This conversation in my opinion is endless. Some people inherently have an advantage over others in some or the other field in life. And similarly, they have a disadvantage in the other ways. What’s in my control is with what lens I want to see this. I always consider myself lucky and I’ll always stick to that. I’m lucky I’m even here. Rest is all bonus. I’ll work hard and I believe that I’ll get my due for that in some way or the other. Rest is not in my control.
What is it like working with Imtiaz Ali?
The experience of working with him is not something I can put into words. I’ve never felt more creatively satisfied collaborating with someone. I felt seen and understood. I also surrendered myself completely to his vision. And that was surreal. He’s really a genius.
As a singer-actor, wouldn’t you like to bring back the era of playback singing?
Well I don’t know how much I can bring back, but I definitely want to pursue my singing. More than that I want to create my own music. I have a real passion for that, and I’m simultaneously going to work on that craft as well. Maybe someday I’ll end up releasing something as well.
Who are the directors and actors you look up to?
There’s Sanjay Leela Bhansali sir, there’s Vikramaditya Motwane, Karan Johar, Aditya Dhar, Shoojit Sircar. A boy can dream! I’ve always looked up to Ranveer (Singh) and Ranbir (Kapoor) since I’ve started acting. A dream would be KK Menon sir, Rani (Mukerji) ma’am and (Amitabh) Bachchan sir.
