I am learning to be more humble and giving as a person.

As an actor, it's your job to switch on and off from the character.

I was disappointed with 'My Friend Pinto.' Everyone put a lot of effort into it but the final product was something no one was ready for. The story was altered and a lot of scenes were edited. I got a lot of flak for my performance.

My favorite destinations include places in south of France, including Cannes.

Mumbai is the kind of place where you learn how to be street smart... unless you're way too overprotected.

My biggest problem areas are my stomach and face. If I indulge too much, I gain weight at these wrong places. So, I stick to a very strict diet in order to avoid that.

I don't want to limit myself as an actor.

There are too many different kinds of people in this world. Not just drags or gays, everybody is different from each other. We should proudly own our individuality.

I was just 19 years old when I did my first film and had no plan to act, or to become an actor. It was like a paid holiday so that I could earn good pocket money and then party more with my friends.

At 19, I got signed up for commercials, it was easy money.

If an actor can emotionally bond with the viewer, then it does not matter if he is handsome or ordinary looking.

It's a full time job - trying to be at peace in my life, trying to be a better person and be best in every way I can be, be a good brother, be a good actor and a good human being.
