Q. Being away for so long, the 'Raabta' unit must feel like family now.
A. Definitely. The entire cast and crew have come close. It surely does not feel that I have been away for long. We have done some amazing work and I am sure it has to do with the bond we share. Dinoo and Homi are like my brothers. We discuss everything — from work to the wildest thing that you can think of.
Q. This is your second romantic film after 'Shuddh Desi Romance' (2013). How comfortable are you doing intimate scenes?
A. 'Raabta' is my first quintessential romantic film. I have been close to the script for a long time. Seeing it translate from script to film is surreal. Dinoo is an extremely passionate filmmaker and he is making this film in a way that we can all be proud of. There are many things that I am trying for the first time and I am enjoying the process.

Q. There has been curiosity about your upcoming projects with Omung Kumar and Sajid Nadiadwala.
A. Dhoni is going to release in September, which I am eagerly waiting for. Raabta wraps up soon. My next film is a wonderful script that Homi Adajania will direct again. There are a couple of other interesting films I have signed. I have to wait for the production houses to give out official statements.

Q. There have been rumours about you moving into a new home.
A. It’s not a rumour. It’s true that I have moved to Bandra.
Q. Why have you taken a break from social media?
A. I felt like I was behaving like Pavlov’s dog to my cell phone alerts. So, I decided to be away from social media for a while. I will be back as soon as I finish 'Raabta'.
