That chhaap (image) is really strong. Additionally a lot of people think that after Ms. Briganza what should they provide me? Almost 25 years have passed since the debut of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Furthermore the character is still revolving around me. People also think that I only work well in comedic roles. I feel tricked denied and left wanting wonderful roles as an actor.
