It's been over 12 years that Ranveer Singh has been working as an actor, and even after so many years, he is raring to go. At an event today he confessed to being obsessed with his craft.

When Girija Kaimal is feeling anxious, she often turns to crochet or fabric work to bring herself a sense of calm. “I have certain patterns I love to do,” she says, “and it just reinforces for me that all is well in the world, and I can still contribute to it in a meaningful way.”
