You have been hosting reality shows for quite some time, and now you have taken a turn towards the world of movies. If given a chance what would you pick? Acting or anchoring? I dont think I can choose just one, I love both and I want to do both. A lot of people are thinking that now that Ive entered films, I will quit TV. Theyre wrong. I am not going to quit TV. I will definitely be hosting more shows. And I will be doing movies too. I am going to try and create a balance between the both.

Your co-star for your upcoming movie, Elli Avram, is an inmate in the Bigg Boss house. Will it be safe to say that it was an intentional promotional strategy for Mickey Virus? Yes, it definitely was a promotional strategy. Saurabh Varma, the director of the movie, thought it would be a good strategy to promote the film, and the new face of the industry, Elli Avram this way.

What have been some of the most memorable moments from Mickey Virus? I think the entire film has been really memorable because this is my first film. But then Mickey Virus is very close to my heart for a few other reasons too. Firstly, the titular character is named after my real-life nickname, which is Mickey. And secondly, the movies been shot in locations where I grew up, which again made the entire experience very memorable.

While anchoring a show, do you stick to the script or do you improvise on your lines? I manipulate my lines a lot. My writer Siddharth Dey writes brilliant situations for me but he also gives me the liberty to add something if I want to. So, the way I look at it, it is a lot of team effort really. That said, I do end up doing things on the spot which, luckily for me, people like. One of the best things about Jhalak Dikhla Jaa was your chemistry with Kapil Sharma. When are we going to see more of the two of you? Hopefully, very soon. We are dying to work with each other again because, we share great camaraderie and are very good friends in real life. Everybody loved us together. On the sets of Jhalak, Kapil was looked upon as the funny guy and I was called the lady killer on the show. We have a great timing together, so lets see, I am hoping to work with Kapil soon.
