We’ve seen you only at cricket matches for a while. Have you decided to stay away from Bollywood?
No way, I will never leave this industry. The business of cricket just kept me very busy. I did some roles that I really wanted to do without thinking about it commercially and I was just taking it easy. I also went for a long holiday where I did a lot of shopping.

Did you take the holiday to get over your relationship?
I took a three-week holiday after the IPL last year too so I don’t know what all this fuss is about. If people think that’s the reason, let them. I don’t really care what everybody thinks. When you’re down and out, it’s easy for people to kick you. I’m very happy and I don’t care about anything else.

Are you going to get back to the glamour industry now?
I’m actually very excited to be back. When I was shooting the other day, I realised just how much I’ve missed the glamour factor. When you do business or serious roles, it’s mentally taxing. It felt good to do something frivolous and just enjoy it.

And you’re returning with a television show?
Well, I do have two films— Mr and Mrs Khanna and Har Pal. But, yes, I’m most excited about the new TV show on cricket called Behind the Seam which I will be a big part of. It’s a really interesting show about cricket. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at everything about cricket, except the match itself.
