Everyone has their own charm and their own style, and I'm very comfortable in my own space and confident of my abilities, I wouldn't compare myself to anyone. All I have to do is give it my best. Farah is there to take care of the rest. As far as preparations go, I will definitely be rehearsing for it before we start filming.”
