I feel there are very few people who can control their anger.Collection: Anger
I was never into drama and theatre in school, so I never participated in Christmas skits that were often a part of Christmas celebrations in school.
I work out for a few hours extra, but I can't give cakes and chocolates a miss on Christmas.
When I was a kid, I loved having muffins and cupcakes and I still like them with coffee.
As a kid, I would have 6-7 muffins with milk for breakfast.
If you do TV, sign a proper daily soap, then you won't be able to do anything.
To be very honest, I owe it all to TV, it has made me what I am today. I've learnt the craft from it.
I'll never say good bye to TV. I belong there.
I was doing back to back shows for four years.
If my parents don't like something, they tell me on my face. You get real feedback from them.
In 'Nach... ', I go all out, but 'Saraswati... ' is an introvert character. The two things are totally opposite.
But the best part about being actors and married to each other is that you can discuss work and take feedback from each other.
I don't wish to be a part of 'Bigg Boss.' People only fight on that show; whenever you put on that show, you hear people fighting.
Maintaining dignity and staying calm in a show like 'Bigg Boss' is a very big task.
As a sensible actor, I can easily judge which scene looks vulgar and which will look aesthetic.
I don't want to ever look cheap on screen and want my viewers to squirm in their seats when they see me in such a scene. I'd rather wow them with my physique.
I am not a foodie so the idea of sacrificing a few things doesn't bother me. I can go on without eating as long as I don't suffer from acidity.
I don't live to eat but eat to live.
I had thought of joining my dad in his stock broking business in Delhi.
People say it is tough to have true friends in glam world, but I feel it is the same everywhere.
When I have some time, I enjoy watching movies, also trying to cultivate habit of reading.
I've two great friends in showbiz - Nigaar Khan and Waseem Sabir.
An actor can never plan. You never know what can work in your favour or not and then maybe the whole dynamics can change.
Good shows have to get made in the first place... The regular ones don't excite me as an actor but at the end of the day, I have to work to earn my bread and butter.
I think one should definitely invest, not all the money in one go but keep some and invest the rest as and when required.
I once invested in a risky business. Quite a few people warned me not to do so, but I still went ahead and invested the money.
I bought quite a few houses and cars.
Every year, I feel really sad when I see Ganesha idols lying here and there after the visarjan. So it is my request to everyone to bring home eco-friendly idols.
I bought my home in Mumbai in 2008 and things started changing for me after 2011 when I brought my first Ganpati. Career-wise, it took an upward graph for me and I totally believe in it.
I was a very ziddi kid. One Diwali, I was hell-bent on lighting an anaar on my palm, and it burst on my palm! It is not a great memory but I still remember that.
I will always continue to act!
Every year, till class ninth, I used to visit Kanpur during my vacations. I still remember during vacations, I used to have great fun with my relatives.
Whenever I am in U.P., I feel as if I am at home.
As an actor I believe in doing all sorts of genres.
Being an actor I believe in doing a variety of roles so that the audience gets to see different shades of me.
Amitabh Bachchan and SRK are great actors, but I like the way Suniel Shetty has handled his work. He's doing so many things at one time. He's a sincere actor, he has his own production company, other businesses and he's even the brand ambassador for hockey.
One afternoon I decided, with a couple of friends, to eat out. We set out hunting for a good restaurant and couldn't find a single place because everything was shut. Finally we had to have idlis at a place and that too at 5 P. M. I didn't know Goa totally shuts down in the afternoon.
I believe that music videos give us an opportunity as actors to play a different character.
Each medium has its own beauty and way of working. While television offers immense reach and long-running shows, films are shorter and they are presented differently. With theatre, it's the thrill of instant feedback.
I think we forget sometimes how blessed we are to be able to help others and make a difference!
I like having a new challenge to tackle because that gives me an adrenaline rush.
Everyone who comes to the entertainment industry wants to be a film actor. Who wants to be a television actor by choice? I want to change the perception of Indian television as being the poor man's medium.
Initially, in 'Suryaputra Karn,' we tried a wig but it looked unnatural, so I grew my hair.
Physically, I was always into working out and keeping myself fit because more than looking good I want to be healthy.
I choose roles according to my sensibilities.
I have to evolve as an actor.
I can't do only goody-goody roles. I can't be complacent, I have to play characters in different genres.
Never say never, but I won't kiss just for the heck of it.
My breakfast consists of skimmed milk, a scoop of whey protein, and granola with dry fruits and oats.
My cheat food is mainly all the sweet stuff I love to eat - pastries, chocolates, cakes and besan ka ladoo.
