From Alia Bhatt to Pooja Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt, everyone was involved with me in the making of 'Tum se hi.'
Whatever little films I did, I got to work with big names like Aditya Chopra, Mohit Suri and Mahesh Bhatt.
I would love to make a documentary on my father, Mahesh Bhatt. What is interesting about Bhatt sahab is that he became more interesting personality after he left work.
I did 'Daddy' when I was 17 years old. My father, Mahesh Bhatt, directed the movie, and he cast me.
I began as an assistant director to Mahesh Bhatt sahab on films like 'Zulm,' 'Kabza' and 'Aawargi' during the '80s. Then I got an opportunity to act and I took it up thinking direction was something which I could always pursue later.
Mahesh Bhatt has changed me a lot. I used to be very held back with my words. He has made me open up. He has taught me how to say what comes to my mind, just as he does.
My first Hindi film as a leading man was Mahesh Bhatt's 'Saaransh,' which immediately established me as someone who knows the craft.
During the late 1980s, I was in Delhi finishing my college and modeling. After reading an article that my mother wrote for a fashion glossy, Mahesh Bhatt sahab expressed the desire meet her. That's when he saw my pictures and asked whether I would want to work in Hindi films.
Especially when you work with people like Mahesh Bhatt, you can't go wrong.
It was Mahesh Bhatt saab's idea to get Shraddha to sing 'Galliyan.' I was all for it.
Mahesh Bhatt has been a great influence in many people's lives. The vibe he brings onto the set is very positive.
There are very few people, like Mukesh and Mahesh Bhatt, Bhushan Kumar, and even Yash Chopra, with whom I have worked, who understand music.
I absolutely loved working with Mahesh Bhatt. He and I were so much in tune that he would just press a button and I would start.
I have stepped into a bigger league with 'Khamoshiyaan,' and I am grateful to Mahesh Bhatt sir. I am also grateful to myself for being patient.
I can never bring myself to watch Mahesh's films. It's way too stressful for me. All his family members are eager to attend and enjoy the previews of his films like normal people. But I sit at home chewing my nails, praying, wondering if this one will be as big as the previous one, and so on.
It's amazing how you meet people through other people. I knew a racecar driver, Stefan Johansson, who was very hot. He introduced me to Jean Todt. He introduced me to a French doctor. He introduced me to a French architect who redid the Louvre with I.M. Pei. He introduced me to Daniel Boulud.
