Don't try to fit in or stand out - just be yourself.
I am a person who is greedy to do better in life, to do more in life.
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.
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.
My kiss in 'Kalyug' was beautifully shot.
I have been lucky to have got big offers like 'Kalyug,' 'Traffic Signal' or 'Dhol.'
At times I do feel that there is some issue with child actors because in all my films my performance has been appreciated but the films have not created magic at the box office.
First hand on 'Go Goa Gone' I learnt how to write on final drafts, how the process works.
Directors were apprehensive in trying comedy with me.
When we watch a film as actors, you have to understand that we always see much more than what's on screen.
I am not a fitness freak.
There are times when your films don't work, your phone doesn't ring and you wonder what you have done.
For any relationship to survive, one needs excellent communication.
I admit that I am very possessive.
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.
There have been films I have said no to and there are roles that I wish I had done.
I got much acclaim with 'Traffic Signal' but 'Superstar' didn't do well.
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.
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.
As an actor, I can only do my job well, but in a movie there are a lot of other things that matter too - like how it is edited and promoted and the works. Those are not in my hand.
