I still reject lead roles, as I don't accept any role if I don't find it challenging enough. I am very careful while making selections.
For me, a director is a director immaterial of the gender. At the end of the day, the audience is only interested in watching a good film.
I'm an actor, and I don't look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as 'Don', 'Eklavya' and '3 Idiots.'
Our film industry as well as the audiences are now open to unconventional pairings and subjects, which has aided my journey greatly.
