Growing up, I loved films like 'A Streetcar Named Desire' and 'On the Waterfront' and became a huge fan of Marlon Brando.

Khoobsurat' was an eye-opener in many ways. Cinema is a colossal money-churning business in India, and working in that environment offered me quite an incredible learning experience.

Everyone has different interests, but instead of constructive learning, people generally tend to lean towards the negative... and I think social media has somehow given fuel to this kind of thinking.

I wanted to do animation, so for lack of available career counselling, took up Bachelor's in Computer Science, but managed to get only C grades.

I stumbled into acting because a friend persuaded me to leave my 9 to 5 job and get into acting.

If there is place for music that I do in Bollywood, then I would surely like to sing a song in a Hindi film.

During college, I didn't really have an interest in what I was studying. It was during college that I first stumbled into forming an underground band where I was the lead vocalist. I had always had an ear for music, but nothing more than that. And that good ear of mine led me to learn and play a lot of instruments while in college.

I am the kind of person who likes taking one step at a time and raising the bar with each film.

I like to discuss my condition publicly because if I, with this disability, am able to fulfill some of my ambitions, so can other diabetics.

I may have played romantic roles, but each character has been different, with his own personality.

Old-world romance underlines my relationships, even with my son and the dog.

I have done films only because my roles were good in them. It has got nothing to do with being associated with any particular camp.
