What is the one thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word Christmas? Christmas means cheat day for me and hogging sweets and cakes. Christmas for me is good food since I am a big foodie and celebrating the festival. Back in Pune I used to visit my friend’s places and now in Mumbai I will catch up with my co-stars.”

Any fond memories of the festival from your childhood? “I had a friend named Alisha in my engineering college and she had called all of us for lunch. I still remember her mom cooking delicious food for us. We ate so much and had a lot of fun.”
