Do you have any formal training in acting?
No, I have no training in acting, which was a big mistake I think. Because last year on my first day at shoot (December 12) in Bangkok, we started to shoot at around 9 in the morning and till half past 10 in the night, none of my shots were okayed. I felt like the whole world was coming down on me. I wanted to prove to everyone on the sets as well as to myself that I could perform. Then I started to come on the sets even when not required, just to talk to the other actors and listen to them perform and that's how I bettered myself. On December 23, I shot for the scenes from my first day and this time in the 12-hour shift, I finished shooting for three important scenes without a single retake!

Actors constantly look in the mirror but it's ironical that you can't see...
Yes, but I don't like to get discouraged by things I can't do, I simply try to find ways to overcome things and perform to my fullest ability.u00a0
