Nobody has a copyright on 'Emotional Atyachar,' other than Anurag Kashyap maybe!
I don't dig the candy floss and rosy kind of film subjects. Give me anything dark and grey!
The way a Dibakar Banerjee conceptualizes a film is different from a David Dhawan! I've worked with both, since as an actor I am just a tool in the director's hands.
I think I'm known mostly for comedy because most of the work I've done is comedy and that is in turn because most of the work that is offered to me is comedy, so I end up doing more comic roles and therefore being known for them.
To be very honest, I don't think I have a fan following.
Music is a big passion for me, and whenever we all friends get together we play guitar, sing songs and play games.
I don't want people to expect too much out of me. I can only give them as much as I can.
The audience is sacrosanct for me. They put faith in me, trust me and I will try my best to live up to that.
Mainstream or budget films don't matter to me. What matters is the script, the director and the part, not necessarily in that order though.
I don't plan my life or analyse things. Nothing can be predicted about the future, no one can put a finger on what's going to be the next big thing. Why bother?
I appreciate constructive criticism of my performance.
Though every film teaches me at least three new things, I don't subscribe to doing homework about a character's backstory unless it's a historical role or one that requires training in accent.
I believe in observing and absorbing life.
I believe in keeping mind and body both fit.
I try to do yoga whenever I can, even if it's 15 minutes during a break in shooting.
The tags in this business don't leave you... When I was a VJ, they called me VJ-turned-actor, then I turned into a comedian, and now I am a serious actor.
I like considering myself as someone in the film business.
I used to think life would be easier to handle. But it is not.
It feels good to be tagged as a talented, versatile actor.
Actors who are super successful are the ones who thrive on the image by creating their forte.
