Through the Nalanda Foundations, I am helping the children who were child labourers and who have been rescued. Actors Raana and Jackie were kind enough to help me in this cause. I have never celebrated my birthday. This year I celebrated my birthday in order to collect money for my charitable work. As far as I am concerned I don’t go for parties. I also don’t drink. My friendships with my colleagues are wholehearted.

They are very helpful in my charitable deeds. One should show interest in charitable works. Whether it is birthday or marriage anniversary, it should be helpful for poverty stricken people. I who was born in a village had been to America alone to pursue my studies. Like this I want to give an opportunity to other children also.

Many are asking me about the experience which I had when I shared the screen with Sridevi in the film English Vinglish. Sridevi was my dream girl. It is unforgettable to act with her. When the shooting was completed I was crying. This was shot by my by assistant. When I see this I now, I feel like laughing."
