Since you have written the story, didn’t you feel like directing it?
(Smiles) No...not at all. As such, it is not my piece of cake...I am an actor and a writer.. ...Yes, but I have tried it once, when I did 'Hasva Fasvi' drama. It was written as well as directed by me, besides acting.
How was the experience during shooting...any memorable moment?
It was fun altogether...It was almost like my own journey with this story passing through various mediums and I always enjoyed working with the children. In the past, I have done children dramas and I always loved to work with them.
