I reiterate that all this didn’t come naturally to me like it did for some. I was always prepared, and that’s the difference. Till date, I rehearse and rehearse like a maniac. Be it a press conference, a radio interview (that I now give and not the other way round), events or film shoots, I prepare every day of my life. Tahira and Rani (my manager) are two people who know of this eccentric side to me. I have no qualms in accepting that I am a hard-working, prepared actor. And by doing this knowingly or unknowingly, I was and still am following the first code.
