I am sitting in my friend Shabina's house and pandit Janardan sees me (Now, more popular with Indian matchmaking) and tells me I will have my own company I tell him I am planning to start in August and he says all will b good but wait for your 25th year…That's when you will make a show that people will watch like they used to watch Ramayana and Mahabharat on Doordarshan (his exact words)...I say, I don't think I can make mythology so good but let's see I say.”
