The beauty of Christmas movies is that they make you feel like Christmas is actually the most wonderful time of the year. I don't love one particular movie, I'd rather say that all Christmas movies are great to watch during the festive season. They give a really good vibe and have happy endings most of the time, that's what I love.Collection: Movies
I want to do action of course. It is my father Jai Singh Nijar's dream to cast me in a good action-comedy film like Akshay Kumar sir. I have even trained to build up fitness for the genre.Collection: Fitness

I'd like to believe that my face is very versatile and I can play the uber cool guy as well as the sexy hunk with equal ease.
I played Shah Rukh's nephew in 'English Babu Desi Mem,' which was my last assignment as a child actor. I was about eleven then. He's one of the best actors I have ever worked with. He really helped me with my lines and expressions. He's such an inspiration.
When 'Ujda Chaman' didn't do well at the box office, I felt bad, but didn't lose heart. Those who watched it on OTT, said nice things about my performance. It made me realise the importance of staying patient.
It eventually comes down to the right timing and right scripts. Some may have two to three releases a year, some may have just one - luck changes with every Friday release.
My father is an action director from 35-40 years and I've seen how things work in the industry all my life and I was being patient to get the right opportunities and not rush to take up anything.
I remember giving auditions for ad films and I used to wait for hours for my turn to come. I used to go for print shoots for Rs 2000. I used to go to the director's office with my portfolio and the receptionists used to tell me to put it in the post box outside.
Fathers have a quality of responsibility and coming back home from work after the daily hustle and the best thing is that despite the hustle and problems, they will still have a smile on their faces which is a very special quality.
Fathers always have their shoulders available to children for support. They are a source of inspiration in our lives and for every son or daughter, they are the strongest.
My dad was a pehlwan before, then he became a fighter, and then he also became an action director wherein he did movies like 'Gangajal,' 'Zameen,' 'Shivaay,' 'Golmaa,l' and many movies for which he also won accolades.
My father is an action director and he often worked with Veeru Devgnji. That's how I would end up at Ajay Devgn's film trials.
It's been quite a long time that I've been working out, so I know what sort of workouts work for which muscle group and overall strength.
I have realised that it's important to dedicate time to a film and role, no matter how big or small it is.
Children in my family really look forward to Christmas presents and I enjoy becoming their Santa, eating chocolates, playing and spending some time with them. I also meet up with some of my close friends to have good food. That's all about Christmas for me.
We really love decorating the Christmas tree around Christmas and have our little fun by playing Secret Santa.
The day I was born, I knew I was going to act! Okay, that can sound a bit exaggerated, but I knew I want to enter films when I started understanding the world of films and saw my father going on sets. Maybe when I was just a kid.
The more comfortable you are in front of the camera the more you can emote well. If you are confident then 90% game is won.
I don't like overacting or putting in way too much in a role when it is not required. It takes away the natural performance which you can give.
I don't care what genre is offered to me... be it comedy or not. For me, it can be anything as long as the script is good.
I have been crazy about Akshay Kumar, probably because he gives me the Delhi vibes. While growing up, I would watch each and every movie of his.
I am good friends with Vicky Kaushal. In fact, he is from my hometown and our homes are just a kilometre apart. Our families get together during occasions and we know each other very well. He is a very sweet and simple guy.
One day, I met Luv Ranjan through a casting agent. That was the best day of my life. After my family, he is the only person who I trust and have faith in.
Kartik has been a good friend. We know each other since 2011 and ever since, we have always hit it off well.
Ujda Chaman' has helped me gain more confidence in my own skills as an actor because it's such an unusual story. Several people asked me to not go for such an unconventional role at such an early stage in my career but I had a positive feeling when I saw the movie.
Bromance is a steady investment of years and the guys know each other through and through. On the other hand, romance is something that requires more investment in a shorter span of time.
