There's always scope to do better, be better. But where I am right now, I am happy.

What's your state of mind like right now?

It keeps fluctuating. Right now. I'm a little nervous. It's my first interview. At the same time, I'm feeling great. I just want to be better, work harder. I'm in a great space, actually.

How would you review Nadaaniyaan?

People go into the film with very high expectations of what it should be. It was not to be some grand film. It was meant to be a sweet, breezy rom-com that you should enjoy on a Friday night, chilling in bed. Social media is a hateful world, right now. They tried to twist it a lot. Sure, as a lead actor, I have to bring in loads more than what I did.

I know I can bring it and I am confident that I will bring it in my future projects. But I'm happy with what it was. I worked with hardworking people and we made a sweet film. I get the criticism but I enjoyed working on it. It was meant to be sweet and breezy. I would say it's good.

How would you review yourself?

There's always scope to do better, be better. But where I am right now, I am happy.

How many stars would you give yourself?

Out of five stars? I don’t know. A three? Yeah, three, three point five. Don't fly too high but don't diss yourself either.

The movie opened to mixed reviews. How have you taken in the positives and the negatives that have come?

I've seen the mixed reviews on social media, they do fry your brains a bit.

Obviously, most of them are bad because that's just how social media works. But I'm glad that a lot of people can see what I may be able to bring to the table. I'm happy with the response I got from the film industry. I'm quite pleased.

Do you think it was necessary to take on the Pakistani journalist?
