With the years passing I feel the need to know more about meditation, kriya yoga and chanting.
To top the happiness of professional success, I now have a baby girl!
In both 'Dondo,' which has been directed by Tarun Mukherjee, and 'Krishna' directed by VV Vinayak, I got to play interesting characters. Moreover, I have enjoyed working for these films, because it was a challenge to learn two languages and express my emotions in them.
I'm a commercial pilot before I was an actor.
Back in 1995, I was young, fresh out of the academy and jobless.
Rahul is my greatest critic; I look up to him. At 40, I'm fit, and that's because of Rahul. If I'm neglecting my health, he's the one to catch hold of me.
What matters is the quality of your show. In my opinion, numbers will fluctuate but you need to be honest with what you are offering to your audience. There are shows that have super high numbers but then you can't even sit through those.
As for 'Bigg Boss,' it's a risky territory, I don't know what would happen if I lose my temper or someone does in the house; or they try to get into personal space. It might sound crazy but I feel I am old fashioned and conventional that way.
If they ask me to do something like 'Emotional Atyachar,' I am not doing that. I have a daughter at home, not that she will judge me but there are certain things, which I feel I don't fit in at all.
Content will always be the king for me.
I have observed Afghani people and their Urdu is not as chaste as it should be and that reflects in the way they speak. Their native language is Pashtun.
It does not matter what is the background of actors as long as they fit the role assigned to them.
My first Telugu film 'Krishna' became a super duper hit and since then there was no looking back.
I have always loved writing as it comes very naturally to me.
I spend a lot of time thinking of stories and reading and that's where my creativity comes from.
I love all kinds of books, which include fiction and non-fiction.
Among non-fiction authors I like Richard Bach, Nichiren Daishonin, Burton Watson, Deepak Chopra and MJ Akbar.
I have always preferred satin sheets.
I have to get my eight hours of sleep. Otherwise I'd be cranky all day.
I hate cluttering my bed.
