Which TV character would you be?

I identify with Phoebe from Friends.

Which TV character do you want to date?

Sally from 3rd Rock From The Sun. She made me laugh a lot. I would love to go on a date with her.


What turns you on?

Originality, unpredictability and compassion turn me on.

On a night out, you’d wear...

Anything comfortable with my ninja boots.

Football or cricket?

Football, because India has way too much cricket. I used to be a goalkeeper for my college football team.

What’s your favourite city in the world?

I usually love non-city places. Mountains, forests, beaches.

A movie you can watch over and over again...

I watched Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar as a child over 75 times. I could relate to Aamir Khan’s character.


Five things you would take to a deserted island...

A boat with a navigation system, fresh water and food, a note book and pen, juggling toys and a friend.

Beauty or brains?

Attitude. Because everyone is their own kind of beautiful and their own kind of smart. The combination is what makes it interesting.

What’s on your bucket list?

To learn how to build an ecological artistic home, build my own home someday and grow a tiny forest around it. Be completely off the grid, and have some cool neighbours, maybe.

Your guilty pleasure...

I’m never guilty for my pleasures. But maybe pani-puri.

Tell us a joke

Life.
