I'm a big foodie but not much of a cook. I can cook desi stuff like dal, rice and chicken. I learnt to cook a little bit when I was in college and I used to cook for my friends. I'm not picky about food and eat all types of food, the type of cuisine doesn't matter as long as the food tastes good.Collection: Food

For any relationship to survive, one needs excellent communication.Collection: Communication
Don't try to fit in or stand out - just be yourself.
I admit that I am very possessive.
Don't try to walk in someone else's shoes - literally and figuratively. Wear what you feel confident in.
See, if there is zero possessiveness in a relationship, then one needs to put a reality check to see if things are really going fine. So, normally, everyone is a bit possessive, and so am I.
Once in a while, I get a massage done at home but I'm not a spa junkie.
I never regret what I do. I'm very proud of every work I have done.
We have seen many child actors who have gone astray. They were particular that 'Zakhm' was going to be my last film as a child actor and after that I took a six year break for education.
I am not a trained writer.
I like watching American TV shows like 'The Sopranos,' 'Game of Thrones,' etc. I also like to watch dance reality shows since I love to dance, even though I haven't been trained in dancing.
Life was difficult for my family, as we didn't know where to go after leaving Kashmir. We settled down in Mumbai, in a suburb called Mira Road.
As a child, I thought we had come to Mumbai for a holiday. I did not realise that this holiday was permanent.
If you notice, no child star made it big when s/he grew up because the child's image was still fresh in people's memory. They could not digest the fact that the child star had grown into a man.
After Class 10, I kept away from films.
When we watch a film as actors, you have to understand that we always see much more than what's on screen.
More than the length, it's the meat of the character that is more important. It does not matter if you are on screen, standing in the corner for the whole film, as opposed to doing something that stands out in two scenes.
I have had my share of flops and it's very discouraging. It's pathetic to be on that side.
I am a person who is greedy to do better in life, to do more in life.
You don't want to be wearing tight jeans and a blingy jacket on a 16-hour flight.
The only time I travelled solo was when I did a 40-day trip visiting America for the first time.
There is something so different and empowering about travelling solo. It's a unique experience and one that is so self-educating.
I'm not much of a hectic packer and prefer to travel light.
I think one should take criticism in one's stride and prove oneself. In fact, I would like to thank my critics as their criticism gave me the fire and passion to prove myself.
After working in a number of films as a child actor, I took a break so that people could forget me as a child actor and relate to me as a hero.
I am lucky to get different roles.
I would love to do roles which would become dream roles for others.
I don't think any relation can work if one dominates. It has to be an equal relation for it to be successful and happy.
People will always talk about stars who are doing two films together.
An actor has to be a complete package, he should have a toned body, know how to dance, act and do everything possible under the sun.
I'm glad that the audience and critics have liked my work.
I don't make a conscious effort to choose any particular genre. If I like the script, I go ahead with the project.
As a child working in films was like a hobby but now it has turned into a profession. And with that, it's become a life that's full of pressure and nervousness about Box Office results, competition.
I am enjoying being an actor, I really love the art.
I have been doing films since I was seven. I really love the medium itself.
First hand on 'Go Goa Gone' I learnt how to write on final drafts, how the process works.
Acting is my first love and I want to stick to it. But I would be happy to offer my inputs to a script, if asked.
There have been films I have said no to and there are roles that I wish I had done.
I know my limitations as an actor.
Kissing on screen isn't easy.
There are roles that I can't do.
Dhol' is a light-hearted thriller revolving around four unemployed guys who are chasing money. It's my first attempt at comedy.
My kiss in 'Kalyug' was beautifully shot.
I hate controversies and want to be in the news for the right reasons.
Most people only concentrate on their upper body and ignore their legs. It doesn't make sense to have a bulky upper body and have skinny legs. I too, fell prey to this and had weak legs.
Sporting a six-pack doesn't necessarily mean that one is fit as it tends to reduce one's immunity levels.
I don't want to take off my shirt and roam topless all the time, just for the heck of it.
