- [Commenting on how he got the role in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)] It was a pretty straightforward route. I auditioned for the part and it worked at both ends. My role may be small but it is an important one. I have scenes with a bunch of members from both, the Indian and the English cast.
- [Commenting on his first ever scene] My first shot was with Dharmendra in my first film. I was playing his brash son and the scene was an argument with him and I had to talk back to him. I was so in the zone, so well prepared, so rehearsed, so believed my character...that I never was nervous! I was on a high.
- Richard Gere [co-star of The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2015)] was fantastic to work with. He is friendly and chilled out. It was cool to see him shake a leg to Bollywood songs. He shared with us about a meditation session he went for in Udaipur, which he loved.
- While it was heart-breaking when the second wave hit us, I feel fortunate that I was able to start and finish a couple of projects. Everyone is going through a crisis, I am just happy to be alive and safe, and doing my bit to make things better for those in need.
