Where did you disappear after your comeback with Sorry Bhai?
There were certain projects that I was supposed to do but the recession hit the industry and they got postponed. But now I'm making up for lost time; Yeh Saali Zindagi is ready for release and I'm doing Desi Boyz (directed by David Dhawan's son Rohit).

Have you ever felt the urge to say 'Yeh saali zindagi'?
Very often. When you plan a film but it doesn't happen or when you are about to start shooting for a film but it gets postponed or when you are all ready to step out and your dress or your makeup artist doesn't turn up. But I don't feel the need to say this phrase when I'm at home or with my family.

What's special about your character in Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi?
I play Preeti, a struggling musician, who performs gigs at small clubs, but is ambitious. She falls madly in love with a guy (Vipul Gupta) and is ready to go to any lengths to be with him. The film is about the dangers she faces because of her conviction in her love for the guy ufffdthough he doesn't love her! Irrfan Khan plays a character, who is head over heels in love with my character.
