Q: Have you assessed this growth and its graph?
A: "If you are a stone and are falling you can never assess the magnitude of it. You can only feel the pushing and the stress. But in the rare moment that you can sit back, you do think to yourself that it’s been a wonderful journey and thank God, it has worked out well. Otherwise, imagine if you are in the same position after five years going — ‘nothing is working out’.
"I was eighteen when ‘Boom’ released, and then I went into modelling for two years. It was a completely different world. You are a child, what do you know about life, and how can you be held responsible for anything? Yet, people judge you and your whole life is spread out in the press. At that age, people are immature, they do make mistakes, but you are living it out in front of the nation."
