“My message to the contestants is to focus on their individuality and style. It’s fine to be inspired but they should not copy anyone.  Let me give you an example of the British Academy for Films which makes beautiful movies but if you look around even in UK you will see Hollywood influencing them more than their own actors. The reason is simple. West is dominated by Hollywood culture and similarly we must accept that our region is dominated by Bollywood. We cannot compete with them and we should not even try. Just focus on our own original content and original acting style and we will stand out.

To the public my message is to support us in this venture and specially the cinema industry, this is a huge task but it’s a start and we hope to start a chain reaction through this effort. We should and must support our own people. For my fans, they would get to see the real side of me which is a lot of fun and I hope they will like me this way too.”
