You recently shot with Khushi Kapoor for a clothes brand (Arrow). Was this your first major ad campaign?
Not really my first campaign, have done a few before. I think what this campaign is speaking about is very relatable to this generation and also something I connect with, which makes it special. I’m glad I’m part of a brand that’s making this a conversation.
What was it like shooting with Khushi Kapoor?
It’s always a good experience shooting with her. Have done quite a few campaigns with her and we also spent a lot of time together on the series The Archies. So there’s a comfort.
How different is it shooting for ab ad as compared with a feature film?
An ad is way quicker. It’s usually a day or two days of work at max. But still, things move very fast and you have to conserve your energy to keep up. However, it’s definitely not as creatively satisfying as playing a character.
Would you endorse a product that you wouldn’t use?
No, not at all. In fact I’ve been fortunate to have been approached by brands that I genuinely believe in. It’s stuff I would use or even give to my family.
When do you start shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s film?
The shooting has begun. I’m going to be travelling to Punjab for my major schedule now. I’m excited for that.
What did you think of your friend Aryan Khan’s series The Bads Of Bollywood?
I think the show is really an enjoyable watch. Haven’t laughed like this in a while. I really enjoyed the performances and it’s just such a perfect masala watch. I’ve been recommending it to everyone.
