Not working makes you ill, sad, depressed. It ages you.

I disliked people calling me a chocolate hero initially, as I wanted to explore other genres of acting.

Dad says do whatever your heart says is right, and I am following this in my career. I feel lucky that he is my dad.

The only actor-director I have worked with in my career is my brother in his film 'Dillagi,' and he got the best out of me.

We have a funny sort of love/hate relationship with critics because, unfortunately, in the art/commerce dance that we do, they drive people to the restaurant. Regardless of sometimes how well we prepare the food, if people don't know that we're out there, if someone isn't talking about us, you guys aren't coming.

I'm a dad and a husband, and so the things that I love to do are all geared around my family.

I'm Italian. I love to cook Italian food, so I learned from my dad how to make sauce and meatballs and all that stuff. With my wife and kids, I started making homemade pasta. The very first time, I didn't have a pasta maker, so I had to cut it with a knife, the old-school way! The noodles were all jacked up, but it was fun.

Only as far as a man is happily married to himself is he fit for married life and family life in general.
