The storyline has always been of paramount importance to me. The subject and climax of 'Phillauri' touched my heart.

There was a time in my life when I'd only sing. In my initial years, I didn't ever speak on stage, forget acting. Eventually, my confidence as a performing artiste grew.

I can't take a break from acting but I've learnt to work my way around films and devote time to my music career.

The first film I watched was 'Soldier,' and then 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' and 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.'

I started watching movies in theatres very late as my family was against it.

Youngsters in Punjab don't follow Bollywood. They know about Drake, Rihanna and the relationship between Beyonce and Jay Z.

I think that no number of rehearsals can guarantee the outcome of a live show.

I think that the Punjabi film industry is growing and is keen to experiment with different genres.

I work from my heart. When I look at the script, I need to feel myself in the character.

For the production of 'Jodi' I have joined hands with Amrinder Gill, but he would not be seen on the screen for this film.

There is no harm in making people laugh by making fun of yourself. What's wrong is when people derive pleasure from making fun of others.

In Punjab, we have a friendly environment and whoever gets a story idea, we discuss it openly and work jointly towards it.

I believe every person has a story that comes out from the way they talk, their opinion, their mindset and their body language.

Even during 'Udta Punjab,' I didn't say much until the film was out. I feel it's incorrect to talk about a film until everything falls into place.

When stardom gets on your head, you don't even realise.

If you remind yourself everyday, where you are from, who you really are, what will happen in the future, and where you exactly stand, then you'll be sane.

I am not competing with anyone, I just want to focus on good music, content-driven films and do well in life.

I think we all face situations in life, where we are not sure if we will be able to make it. I have been through such experiences and for me, the real hero is the one who rises above obstacles.

I have never followed any sport in my life, I was always into music. So, portraying Sandeep Singh was challenging for me.

A biopic teaches you a lot.

When I started playing hockey, I realised the entire game relies on your back- you have to bend to play it.

When I visited YouTube headquarters, they told me that Delhi searches me the most on YouTube.

I get a lot of love from Delhiites. My producers tell me that my films do really well here.

I owe everything to Punjabi cinema.
