Everyone who has siblings will relate to this character, which I guess is the most misunderstood one. It's a very multi-layered role. And I must admit that it was one of the difficult roles that I got to play . And that is the reason I have never discriminated between small roles and big roles. If my role can make a difference in the film, it's okay for me, no matter if it's a small one."
