You're going to be directed by your dad... That's right. We're looking at starting very soon. I've pushed him for years to take this plunge as a director. He has all these lovely scripts lying around that only his family knows about. I really wanted him to direct me. He has finally come up with something he thinks will do justice to both of us. I'm very excited . Did the irony of your break-up with Kareena and the success of 'Jab We Met' strike you? It's too glaring for me not to notice it. But that's life for you. I've always accepted what life gives you. I think what defines my life is not what happens to me but how I deal with it. Do questions on Kareena make you uncomfortable? No. It's been a year now. The pain has receded. I know that as an actor I'm not allowed to have complete privacy even if I wanted to. I try to keep my personal life to myself. I want to stay connected with the person I am. Sometimes in our world we're pulled into an illusory state. I'll do as much as possible to uphold my privacy. Is Sania Mirza a part of your private space? I don't like talking about her. But we do know each other and we're friends. A lot of people have been speculating about my personal life. And I've always said I'm a normal person. If I'm in a relationship, I won't be sitting alone. I'll go out with the person I'm in a relationship with. So people will know if something is on. Since you're seen with Sania, can one conclude you're seeing her? I go out with a lot of friends. But she's a well-known face. So when I'm seen with her it becomes a matter of discussion.
