Q: In the album 'Endless Love' you have promoted Delhi, why so?
A: I purposely shot this album in Delhi because I feel Delhi has wonderful locations. As compared to Mumbai, Delhi has not been properly used for shooting purpose.
When I was in college I used to think that Delhi does not have many production houses and so people have to move to Mumbai. So for this album,except for Apoorva Agnihotri I purposely chose models from Delhi. -Saakshi Tiwari
