Q. Which has been your most difficult character on-screen?  A. Daman, from Undekhi, is always in the middle of a shitstorm he didn't cause. He's pulled in many directions and sometimes as an actor, it's a challenge to determine from the writing alone what his personal stance actually is. It's a mystery whether his actions are to keep his wife content or whether they're motivated by his changing values. It's one of the few characters I've played who is constantly in an ethical dilemma. I found myself struggling to keep Daman's evolution in pace with the plot. I have to remind myself that humans undergo a drastic change in high stakes situations and must find creative ways to make it believable. 

Q. Did you have any inhibitions while kissing a male co-star in Inside Edge?
