Quotes

“There is something so characteristically beautiful about Indians, which comes out evocatively in their cinema regardless of genre. Black, The Lunchbox, Life of Pi, Slumdog Millionaire, and Jawan which I have yet to finish, are films I have thoroughly enjoyed.”

“I am also a fan of genres involving mental gymnastics or a fantasy genre which fuels your imagination, tends to excite me. That’s why I participated in the series Awaken.”

“There are many things to consider when choosing stories, but since my 30s, I have been choosing works based on whether the story stimulates me and whether I am intrigued by the character. A character I don’t relate to would be someone who doesn’t appeal to me. I wouldn’t have gone with the characters I’ve played if I couldn’t resonate with them at a human level, I need to have compassion for the character.”

“These days, I’d like to meet the story to bring warmth and comfort to the public as my next work.”

“When I first started my acting career, I guess K-dramas weren’t as big as they are now, but I feel like I’m working in a very blessed time. I’m so happy, and I’d like to continue to be a part of many more stories in the future.”
