Q-   Yes you're speaking from the heart so now I will ask questions that you answer right from the heart. You said you're a movie buff so who's your favorite movie star? 

A- I don't have any favorite movie star but I like the art. For instance, I like the unique qualities of actors. I prefer to watch comedy movies because they relieve tension. There's a lot of stress and pressure in life. But tension depends on how we react so that's why I like watching comedy movies a lot doesn't matter the actor. I don't have any favorites but there are some movies that I am always ready to watch like Hungama, Chup Chup Ke, Hera Pheri. So there are some comedy films that I like to watch anytime.

Navdeep Singh heavily emphasized the fact that he is a huge comedy movie buff.
