I am a fitness enthusiast since childhood.Collection: Fitness
I have great friends in film industry but professionalism and friendship are two different cups of tea.Collection: Friendship
My small jobs were basically... cut a ribbon somewhere or fly to be a judge in some pageant in Darjeeling. It was those small kinds of jobs which sort of kept me going and I am thankful for people to even notice me.Collection: Thankful
Whenever rejected, I thought maybe the director saw someone better suited for that role than me. I didn't think of it as so and so is someone's son or relative who got preference.
There are times when I get a role that someone else didn't. And there are instances when someone came from nowhere and is new to the industry, beat me to a role. The director and producer know who they want to work with. Who am I to stop them from doing that?
Even as a producer, I want to work with certain actors. Now, if they don't want to be a part of the film, what am I supposed to do? Everyone has their right to choose.
What I earned in my previous years as an actor, I knew I had to invest smart to stay afloat. I was investing in a couple of businesses, some of them did decently well, some of them didn't.
I feel certain negative characters, or the ones with grey shades, provide more scope for acting. These characters help you excel. And such interesting characters allure me.
I keep repeating this. The trolls do not pay your bills. You cannot base your life on their opinions.
You base your life, and you live your life on your terms. Your opinion matters, and the opinions of the people closest to you matter. Nobody else's opinion matters.
I believed that if someone approaches me with a good offer and says 'let's begin tomorrow,' I should be ready.
If a big director comes to me 'I want you in this role, the story is very good,' I will be ready to shoot.
Call it my bad luck or whatever it is, after 'Pyaar Impossible,' people were offering me nonsense films. I was offered roles of no consequence.
I wash my scalp with shampoo once a week and no conditioner. I get my scalp massaged once in every three weeks.
One beauty tip men can follow is to apply argan oil on their face before they sleep, I have been following this routine for a long time.
I brush my scalp from the back of my neck to the front of head. I brush it every night before I sleep before it stimulates the scalp. If you brush it, it will naturally secrete oil that is very good for your hair.
I had watched 'What Lies Beneath' long before I signed 'Raaz.' It was similar in terms of the story premise and the infidelity part. But I didn't have to go and watch the other film. Once I read the script I wanted to bring my own perspective. I didn't want to copy from a Hollywood film.
The OTT experience has been outstanding because you instantly reach out to millions of viewers as compared to a movie, though movies have a charm that is unmatched.
I don't differentiate between mediums and I feel if your web show is interesting and people love it, then it reaches out to a wide number of people all over the world.
When I came into the industry, I didn't know anyone. I was modelling and I got one opportunity after another. This industry has given me life and my home.
You got to be confident and comfortable in your skin. After all everyone has to age and for how long can we look like a 21-year-old?
I really take good care of myself and I am fit. Fortunately, I think I am aging gracefully. And I am happy with the way I am.
When you make a decision to stop saying yes to rubbish, mediocre films, or roles that are not going to help you in any way. To make a conscious decision to say no. Then at the back of your mind you also have your insecurities 'oh God, will I ever even work again?'
When you are in a position of hunger, you can't say you want to only focus on craft, you can say that in a position of money. You have to make ends meet. If you think you are going to get by without that, it is a tough one.
Sunny Leone is beautiful and extremely hot. When I met her for the first time, I found her flawless.
When I do work out its an hour to hour and a half. But its not always at the gym. I play a lot of sports.
The only reality show I'd probably take part in would be 'The Amazing Race.' Reality shows are fun to watch. Very tiring for the participants.
