'I have acting in my genes'

What kind of roles do you want to do?

I am not experienced enough to answer that question but my parents know what is best for me. If it has a lot of scope for me to perform, then I will take it up.

Have you taken any acting classes to help you in the industry?

I think I have it in my genes. I didn't take up any classes, as mom was apprehensive. She didn't want me to have any preconceived notions about acting. We believe that acting cannot be taught. You either have it in you or you don't.

Your mother recently starred in Jodhaa Akbar. Did she give you any acting tips or help you in grooming yourself for your launch?

She is my best critic and has always helped me and motivated me to get into shape.

I did a lot of workouts and followed a very balanced diet. I am someone who gets bored very easily with routine. So I would dance, do yoga and swim. I learnt Kathak [a classical dance form], which was very helpful in weight loss.

Did you go on the sets of Jodhaa Akbar?

Yes, twice. The sets were like a resort. It had a very calm atmosphere unlike other chaotic sets. My mom was like everybody's mom on the sets. She used to cook for them.
