I can't mix different sports brands together. I would never go to the gym wearing a Nike sweatshirt and Adidas shoes.
I was with my mother at a mall when our car was suddenly surrounded by people. Initially, she loved seeing her son getting mobbed. Then the crowds started swelling, and they began to push and shove and tilt the car. My mom's joy turned into anxiety.
I know my talent when it comes to acting. But will I get the opportunity to showcase? That fear seeps in when an actor's film fail back-to-back.
Life of an actor is not his or hers: it's everyone's life. Nothing is private; nothing is personal. If you're doing great in terms of work, that's the price you've to give.
People relate to my characters and see me in a different way. They identify with me and remember the nuances of my characters.
I would love to work with Alia Bhatt. I think she is very talented and has been really good in all her films.
My worst fear is to not able to understand what my director wants me to do. I might not be able to reciprocate to his idea or vision. I may not be able to perform before the camera. Those are my worst fears.
I believe in method acting. Whenever I'm working on a character, I start behaving like him. I start doing these things which the character would normally do. Maybe that's the way I function as an actor, and I believe in it. And that's how I try and portray a character.
The audience has reacted well to my comic timing. But, I also have other aspects to my acting talent.
In the industry, once people see you in a certain mold, you start getting offered only those kind of roles.
In both the 'Punchnama' movies, the characters and their relationships were only about boyfriends and girlfriends. But in 'SKTKS,' we had so much more to talk about.
I've always wanted to be an actor who connects with families because once they come to watch your film in the theatres, it becomes a big deal. That's how you sell four tickets at one go.
If fans consider me a heartthrob, I think it has more to do with the kind of characters that I have played.
Some people thought that I was crazy for declining a lot of offers while I was filming 'SKTKS,' but I have waited patiently because I knew I had a winning hand.
Being a part of 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' has been a life-changing experience for me, and hopefully, I want to keep working hard in future as well.
I want to be a commercially viable actor. I want that the distributors and producers should earn the money; then only, you become a bankable actor.
Post-'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety,' now there are more opportunities for me in terms of films. I'm getting offers from the makers I always wanted to work with.
I always try to pick up interesting scripts, and thankfully, I have been lucky to get scripts like 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama,' 'Akash Vaani', and 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.'
It can be a fictional character and yet relatable... It always depends on the content of the film and what you are doing.
I cannot put pressure on myself that I have delivered a Rs 100 crore film and now I have to give it again or it will not be successful. Films that earn Rs 50 crore or Rs 60 crore are successful, too.
I am always on Instagram, Snapchat, and all other social media platforms... So, I am a very tech-friendly person, and I've grown up playing on my phone.
'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' is a universal concept. You can use different set of characters and put them in a situation like this again and again.
I have grown up watching Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar movies. Naturally, I aspire to be a part of their kind of cinema.
