How choosy will you be in selecting your projects post this one?

I am giving very selective auditions currently. Yes, I am waiting for something good. Choosy depends upon the character. If I like a character whether it is negative, positive, lead or parallel lead, I will take up for sure. I will only see how impactful the character is. 

When you stepped into the industry, how was that phase? Were there too many struggles?

Yes, there were struggles. I was very new to the industry and knew nothing about this industry. After I stepped in the industry, I had to learn a lot. I started working behind the camera. I also worked in casting, and also worked behind the camera in reality shows. I have not taken any formal training for acting. I kept practicing and observing people. That was the best way to learn. There were struggles. I had to survive also. I used to also give auditions between my lunch breaks and post my working hours. I had beautiful memories of my early days. 

TV actors are often stereotyped which is why they find it difficult to get  roles in web shows and movies. What is your take on this?

I don't think so. A lot of actors are doing movies and the web as well. It's just how you break your image. When you go for a web or a movie audition, it's about how you act. There are people who think that TV actors can only do shows and nothing else. But that's not the case. A lot of actors are breaking the stereotypes. One has to struggle to prove himself but eventually it's upon the actor. Now I feel even casting directors are also approaching TV actors for web and films.
