Kanwar Dhillon reveals being a mischievous but bright student

The Pandya Store actor quipped, "I was a very mischievous Student. My teachers remember me because of this and the naughty smile that I always had on my face. Apart from being a naughty student, I was equally studious and phenomenal in sports. I had an equal balance of everything.
