She is somebody who is prepared for everything, and knows everything about everything because she does the research and reads a lot.”

I am very emotional and very moody and very everything that you don’t want me to be. She is like, ‘At work, I want to be at peace and concentrate on myself. If you’ll be there, I will keep focusing on you, I don’t want that. I need to do my own thing.’ She is not going to change her mind, I am still a pain.” Karan Singh Grover is basking in the success of his film Fighter.
