As a kid, you grew up in
a village [Belsand, Bihar]
without television for years. How
did you decide to become an actor?
I got interested in acting when I saw
a play in my village. Everything I am
today, including my beliefs, comes
from the time I spent there. And that
is also why I keep going back—it keeps
me grounded.Were you really jailed once during
your graduation years in Patna?
I was studying theatre, and I worked
as a part-time cleaner at a hotel there.‘‘
