Director Dharmesh Darshan is wary about people who label him as "standoffish', unapproachable and hard-to-get'.

"It is very convenient to brand someone, which can be quite a misconception at times. I am just a bit shy, reserved and sensitive, wanting to keep a distance from people for my own reasons. But people think I am being hoity-toity, which is the last thing on my mind. I think that's the way I am made in my personal life too," says the introvert director, who recently had a discreet marriage to his childhood friend.

So how does he react to people he does not particularly like, when they approach him?

"I avoid politics. If I meet the wrong kind of people, I am particular about dealing with them rightly. I just don't have the time and inclination for negative people," he shoots back.
