As an actor, when you don't have a reference to pick from, you experiment, try out new things. And what comes of it eggs you on. You realize your capabilities and push your limits.
There will be people who don't like you or aren't convinced. I'd rather let my work talk than justify in words.
Growing up, I always wanted to play a fighter.
If you are the kind who has an active lifestyle and are not hellbent on looking all buffed up, I'd think a vegetarian diet is the way to go.
Nothing beats Delhi when it comes to food. It has some fantastic restaurants and street-food joints.
For me, the most difficult move was when I chose to quit modelling and applied for a position of an assistant director.
The thing I crave for the most is appreciation for my acting.
The future of filmmaking is to make the canvas bigger, something you can't enjoy on your phones or computers.
I'd like to have a different look for every film. As an actor, I think I should put more emphasis on my performance than on my looks.
I am still getting used to stardom. It's a great place to be in.
I don't come from a film background. so I am grateful to everyone who loves my work.
Yes, there is an image people have of me, that I did only sweet boy roles. With 'Ek Villain,' I got the opportunity to break out from this image. It is a way of answering my critics, to tell them I am here to perform and not just for glamour.
I used to play rugby, which requires a lot of physical strength. The game requires you to get aggressive.
I have had my set of fears in most of my movies. But the fun lies in overcoming them.
We don't come back home being stars. Your family will treat you the same way.
I think believing in eternal love or growing old together, people might think is a bit old fashioned. I am bit old fashioned, and I truly believe that it can happen provided that you do find the correct person.
One thing that I have learnt from many senior actors is that you can never take anything for granted. Whether one is working with the best director or a first-time director, every experience teaches you a lot.
I would rather know about different cultures, read about them, and understand them than just blindly follow their rituals. All cultures in India have their own logic.
I believe in, 'I do it my way, and you do it your way, and then see what works' pattern. I think that comes with me having worked as an assistant director earlier, which I really enjoyed.
I would never refuse a film or do a film for a certain amount of money.
