"Once, when I was shooting for a commercial, the director told me that I have a very photogenic face. He said that I should do acting and that he’d like to work with me. But honestly, I don’t have time. I don’t even get time for myself. At present, I can’t think of anything apart from cricket. This is just the beginning of my career. But, in future, if I get a chance, I’ll think about it, and I’d like to have Kareena Kapoor as my co-star. She’s my favourite. I like all her films.”
