1. Do you sign Autographs through the mail? How many requests do you receive?

Ans:- Yes! About ten requests on an average per day.

2. What is the strangest Autograph request you have ever had?

Ans:- I was on board a flight to Calcutta. The gentleman seating beside me had no idea who I was. No sooner had some passengers rushed towards me for Autographs, than the gentlemen did bring out a currency note for my Autograph. Need also to say, I refused to sign on it.

3. Are you aware of how large the hobby of collecting Autographs has become? How did you become aware?

Ans:- No idea

4. Do you sign Autographs when asked in person? If so, do you limit the number of items per person?

Ans:- yes, as far as practicable. May be yes, due to paucity of time.

5. Are there any upcoming events where people might be able to get your Autograph in person?

Ans:- May be when I would be shooting next for my sponsor, which would demand signing my autograph.
