'Anurag's 8-year-old daughter is very fond of me'
How did you get this film offer?
I was plain lucky. When Anurag Kashyap saw me, he said I was the perfect choice for Aamir. He had not seen my shows on TV but he said that his eight-year-old daughter is very fond of me.
After that, Anurag saw my interview with Cyrus Broacha and he said he has never sat through an entire interview but he sat through mine because he thought I had the proper attitude towards life. That's how he selected me. Anurag and Rajkumar Gupta did not take my screen test or audition.
