In spite of being so talented, why do you choose to do selected projects?

Honestly, I don’t have an answer for that. It’s not like I am rejecting stuff. But it is not like I am getting offered something which is irresistible. I would want to be offered more substantial roles, my talent is out there. I have only worked with credible directors, credible scripts, great co-actors. I think it is all about timing. As for me, hard work is the only way which has got me so far, and I believe, that is the path someone like me has to take. I am not a part of a clan or belong to any filmi background. But despite that, if I have managed to do films with the Yash Raj Banner, Balaji Telefilms, Vishesh films, Excel Entertainment, now Dharma production. I hope that bigger and better things happen to me.
