Do things close to heart, and work hard with passion and dedication.
I have realised acting is my heartbeat and my lifeline.
Hard work is the only way to success. You have to be tough, stay tough.
Whoever you are, you have to prove your worth.
Be honest to your work and do quality work.
Now for me, acting is all I want to do for the rest of my life. So I am going to give 100 per cent to it. Whether I am becoming poor or rich, famous or unknown, it does not matter. This is what I am here for.
Everyone has some sort of struggle.
I've grown up in Mumbai, did college from Mumbai, many colleges, actually - Jai Hind, Ruia, Andrews, Wilson, Whistling Woods... Then I worked as a production assistant with Prahlad Kakar, and then I started acting.
You win some, you lose some. You get hit you don't get hit, but it's not about how hard you get hit. I think it's about how hard you get hit, then still get up and deliver an even harder punch. I think that's what it is all about.
I wanted to be a cricketer.
Life is nothing without ups and downs.
My grandparents and my aunts tell me that I need to make a name for myself like my mother. Their thoughts really motivate me.
At 19, I got signed up for commercials, it was easy money.
I am not averse to the idea of being in a relationship. In fact, I think everything in this world can be solved through love.
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.
It is not about being a hero or a villain; I want to be a solid and passionate actor.
My diet consists of low carbs, zero sugar, zero fat, zero dairy product, lots of fish, chicken, red meat, protein shake and lots of vegetables like spinach and mushrooms.
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.
I know I must be true to myself.
Vidyut Jammwal is like an older brother; I will love him for the rest of my life.
