I make it a point to have my meals after every two hour gap and am very particular about it.
I get very lazy when I come to Delhi. My visits here are all about sitting and eating and it is very dangerous.
Both my parents have done considerable work in theatre and I have grown up with that culture, but I still felt that I needed formal training.
I feel that a film or a play presenting homosexuality does not necessarily have to come with a message for the audience. It is a way of life, everyone should be treated equally.
No, I never planned my life.
I want to love myself and love my life.
I know that if I want to be respected, I have to show respect.
I just stumbled into acting; my first choice indeed was music and sports.
Yes, I mean, I can't match up to my mother's acting skills, actually both my parents. I just cannot match up to them. My mother was such a powerful and a respectable performer. They are actually overshadowing me and yes, I cannot be as good as them.
Basically, whenever I watch my mother on screen, I never judge her as a performer; I always see her as my mother and I become emotional.
The funniest rumour that I've heard about myself is that I am gay.
Relationships have been a way of life and I don't regret being in one ever.
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.
With time, the one thing that I have learnt is, never taking the opportunity for granted.
Getting to work with good filmmakers and getting to play good characters in films is so special.
As an actor, it's your job to switch on and off from the character.
Umrika' was one of the most wonderful collaborations I had the privilege of being a part of.
A lot of things have hurt me about the industry. I don't want to be very vocal about this but it's an everyday fight with Bollywood. It's like a love hate relationship.
I am proud of whatever my parents have achieved. In fact, it drives me to excel in life, to perform even better and explore myself.
As an actor, I try to work in as many films as I can.
