The connection of the car to the driver is the seat. You are strapped in tightly in it. On the motorcycle, you can move around. The G-forces feel different. It's probably harder to change from the car to the motorcycle.

My work is one of my passions, so I want to treat it with great importance, whatever the project or role.

I hated motorcycles. I said to my mother, 'I'll never get a motorcycle.' And she said, 'You never know what you'll want when you are older.'

Gangs Of Wasseypur' was a confidence booster for me.
