What is your role in 'Bunty Aur Babli'??
It is a small role. I play a cop whose only goal is to catch Bunty and Babli. No one has seen Bunty or Babli because they use a disguise where-ever they go, which makes it more difficult for me to catch them. They hail from a small town of UP and come to the city to give life to their dreams.
