​1. What’s the story behind your name?
It is given by one of my closest relatives. The meaning of my name is- someone who wins the sun. And my grandfather gave me my nickname- Arghya. It means things to worship God. One day my mum called me- Chhotu (The little one), and I responded her with a smile. So, she started calling me Chhotu, and it's become my nickname. Even my maximum school friends call me as Chhotu.

2. What was happening in the world when you were born?
Satyajit Ray got Oscar on that day. Coincidently he is my idol.

3. What is your earliest memory of home?
Actually, I was born in Kanchrapara. When I was 1.5 years old, we shifted to Kalyani. I was so young that I don't have any memory of my very first house, unfortunately. In my present house, we had no boundary wall, and the area was fully covered with grass. I played there for hours.

4. What was your favorite hiding place as a child? What is your favorite hiding place as an adult?
A gap between my bed and wall or under the bed. Those were really interesting place for hiding. As an adult, I think my room with close door is a great hiding place. A place to hide emotion, a place to cry, a place to enjoy myself and everything. But only one condition- door should be closed.

5. Describe your favorite outfit as a child, and as a youth. What about now?
From the very early age, I wear shorts, and I'm comfortable with it. Apart from that, I didn't have any personal choice in childhood. I wore what my parents bought. But now I love to wear a black shirt and ripped blue jeans. Cargo is also my favorite cause it's very comfortable.

6. In your opinion, what has been the most significant world event that has taken place during your lifetime? Why?
Significant in which sense? If you ask me about any sad incident, then I would tell- Michael Jackson's death. Apart from the King of Pop, he is also my hero, my inspiration. And if you ask about an incident that makes me happy, it will be any philanthropic work by Bill Gates, Shah Rukh Khan, Christiano Ronaldo, and Justin Bieber. I really love it. We should always stand by the needy people. Help them, make them happy and provide them good life. It is considered as a total developing progress of a nation.

8. What kinds of civic or political activities have you gotten involved with?
Actually, I don't understand politics. It is not as easy as that go for an election and become a political leader. No, not like that. The people who are behind politics, study a lot, gain experience and then come into this field. They run the whole country, the entire nation and it's not an easy task. It's all about my ignorance for not involving in it and nothing else.

People think I have a lot of money; I buy whatever I want. But I belong from a lower-middle-class family. It was not possible to fulfill all my wish all time for them. I didn't get most of the things I wanted as we had not enough money. They rebuked me. I wanted to buy just a 10 rupees water game, I requested many times to my mum, and she disagreed. Now I play with that. It's not mine; It is my nine years old nephew's. I play and smile. God fulfills our desire at any cost.

It was a zoo in Thailand named- Safari World. There was a tour where we all are inside in a car, and it will go through a vast area, where many animals are roaming.

Loving animals is also an important value to humanity.
