Q: What other preparations to play simple?
A: I was on a vegetarian diet. And I was doing yoga, 'surya namaskar', etc just like the character. In the film, I get married to an overweight woman who loves me. But I don't love her back. She is educated and intelligent. I am not.
Q: And you also play a Kumar Sanu fan in "Dum Lagake Haisha"?
A: Yes, that's an idea we introduced into the film since the film is set in the 1990s when Kumar Sanu was a major force in the music charts. My character owns an audio-video shop. It's all very 1990s. So a huge nostalgia trip for all of us who were growing up back then. I was in school during the 1990s. I remember I used to sing the songs of "Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee" for my first girlfriend.
