I got a chance to work with Judi Dench in almost every scene. How many Indian actors get that chance?

I got a chance to work with so many stalwarts from British cinema. Judi Dench, of course, who is a legend. Then there was my director Stephen Frears. He is the man who made some of British cinema's salient trendsetters.

Robert De Niro... I had a chance to meet him, and I hope to get to work with him one day.

It's horrible when actors say that they are apolitical.

As an actor, your job is half done when your co-star becomes your friend, especially when it's Judi Dench.

I know where I am headed and how will I evolve. There's nothing stopping you. I don't have a family background on films, and I will need to work for it.
