I think I don't get angry so often after marriage. This is primarily because initially when I used to get angry over things, it would make Ridhima unhappy and I can't see her not smiling.
I never thought I would get into acting. I was studying computer applications in Delhi and that was when I got selected for my first TV show and came to Mumbai.
My mother is a lawyer by profession. Now she has shifted with me in Bombay. I lost my father a long back.
I have shot back-to-back shows with outdoor schedules, and so missed many moments of my babies.
I feel that when you are passionate about what you do, money will follow. If money becomes the primary factor, passion goes down the drain.
I bond well with my mother Raaj, with my wife Ridhima, with my dog Wafer, with all my close friends and also at a deeper level with the almighty.
Experience is my biggest teacher in life. I lost my father at a very young age, that's what made me more mature.
I have been following Buddhism since 11 years now. I love the sound of chanting.
I had no idea what I wanted to do in my career, but I was sure I won't do a 9-to-5 job.
When I came to Mumbai, I was just 19 years old and did the TV show, 'Remix'. Thereafter, I just fell in love with acting.
Whichever profession you are in, the profession becomes a part of your personal life too. So, acting has become a part of me in all synergies.
Acting takes inspiration from all the allied fields - be it diction, dancing, reading, narrating, I try to imbibe all those things to perfect my acting skills.
In India every child is passionate about dancing. Every state has its dance forms. I used to love bhangra in Delhi.
I don't want to limit myself to a genre, language or a particular industry. I will do anything interesting that comes to me.
My childhood was not great but not that bad either. I've always had a loving and caring mother with me.
I love reading any interesting book. If it is boring I keep it forever after reading 4-5 pages of it. But if it is good, I can go on reading it no matter what genre it belongs to.
I am not really a cook as such, but I have lived a bachelor life when I first came to Mumbai, so at times I have had to cook for myself for basic survival.
We all have our fears, but it's about how you take up the challenge.
I don't slot genres according to soap, historical, mytho and crime. For me, the most important thing is my role.
Yes, I would love to step outside the costume drama category and play a young urbanite, something closer to who I am.
