My wife and I love to travel, so if we don't have work on either her or my birthday, we definitely travel.
I love my house and stay back home when I get time off shoots. I hardly party. I am not 19 anymore.
If everybody had 100% record of hits and flops, there would have been no surprises. There's not one director with 100% success rate.
If a writer is good at what he does, it's not easy to do a good job every day... To invent something new is almost an impossible task.
I don't believe in materialistic gifts and grand gestures.
I always wanted to learn how to play the guitar.
My work should speak, not being spotted on Page 3.
My wife knows that I love her too much, so she is fine with the intimate scenes I do. She also knows that only if my role justifies such a scene will I do it. She understands my work as an actor.
I signed 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon' only for a year. But the producer requested me to stay on, as the show had just started to make money. I carried on, and in the process, the character became very popular. When I finally gave up, changing the actor for that character was difficult, so the show ended.
I believe social media gives away a lot to people. I got this impression long time back when my friend was on Twitter, and he got trolled because he posted his opinion about something. He was very upset about it, as he didn't expect that people will reply in such a nasty way.
The working hours are easy in films, while there is always an anxiety on television. So the energies are very different.
My career choices aren't based on the popularity of my character; I have never intended to capitalise on my fan base.
What I like about Calcutta is the food. I like simple Bengali food like dal, shukto, fish, and mutton.
I loved the Yashraj shows 'Powder' and 'Shaadi.com.'
I have passed on on a lot of roles. I purely and simply do what I like.
For me, as an actor, the challenge is mostly before the film starts when you have to get into the psychology of the character.
Birthdays, for me, are not really important. It is just like any other day.
I like to have my share of parties, but I am not the late night person. Not that we don't do parties at all, but that does not happen very frequently.
I personally think that people should spend more time and money on their marriages instead of weddings.
The content has to be good; medium doesn't matter to me.
