First break: Shot for an advertisement for which I earned R20,000. My first break on TV was with the serial Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr aired on Star Plus (2002-2004)
A Punjabi dish to die for: Wrong question to ask a true Punjabi (since they are real foodies), but its Dal Makhani.
Your favourite Punjabi slang: Teri bhen di...
The hardest thing about being on TV: You have to shoot for crazy hours and still keep yourself fit, cool and charming.

Your strategy in a crisis: Don’t think, just go with the flow.

If you were the editor of a magazine for a day, who would you put on the cover?: The least popular guy in the world.
Your favourite travel hotspot in north India: The entire Punjab—from Ludhiana to Amritsar, Jalandhar and Kartarpur Sahib, that has so many gurdwaras.
A celebrity you look up to: Shah Rukh Khan
