I have been a vegetarian for a few years now, and I am honestly managing it quite well in sync with my workouts and maintaining my physique as well. From whey protein to cottage cheese to tofu, all my proteins, carbs and far content are well in place and balanced.

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.

Christmas is a really special day since I support the initiative 'Helping Hands' and I celebrate Christmas with the kids there. I take them to a place they would enjoy, like a hotel or fun zone and spend time with them as we play together and I become Santa for them.

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.

It has this royal feeling - one doesn't get this feel anywhere else; the culture here is so rich and the people here are so respectful - that was one of the reasons why I decided to get married at the Tijara Fort in Alwar.

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.

Maha Kumbh' blends elements from Hindu mythology with the international espionage thriller. Nothing like it has ever been attempted on Indian television.

Both 'Saraswatichandra' and 'Mahakumbh' are extremely close to my heart. The shows are polar opposites and so are the characters but I have loved being a part of both of them.

When I am travelling or shooting outdoors, and if there is no gym around, I do pull-ups. If there is a bar somewhere, I manage push-ups, squats, and generally I just sweat it out in the room or my vanity van. But I make sure my workout regime is never hampered at any cost!

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.
