- Smile, laughter, energy, and flailing arms while speaking.
- Broke decorum at the National Film Awards ceremony with a piercing whistle, while a megastar was being honoured. Other distinguished guests immediately echoed the compliment with loud cheers and whistles, and suddenly the solemn atmosphere was transformed into that of raving fans at a cinema hall.
